Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a transporter's query about switching from the GST reverse charge mechanism (5%) to the forward charge (12%). While there's no formal procedure to change mid-financial year, the consensus is that the choice must be made at the beginning of the financial year and adhered to until its end. Changes to invoicing are necessary, clearly indicating 'Forward Charge' and the applicable 12% GST rate.
Please note that once transporter opts for RCM method of raising tax invoice in the beginning of the year and difficult to change the option to forward charge tax invoice basis in the middle Of the year.
As such there is no any procedural compliances, can Excercise the Option to pay GST 12% on FC in the beginning of FY & need to continue with it till end of Fy .
If the transporter wishes to convert from 1st July and collect tax @ 12%and claim itc then can it be made possible if all the invoices pertaining to two periods from April to June and from July to rest months are separately recorded?
