Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on freight charges under GST. It explains that RCM at 5% is applicable if the Goods Transport Agency (GTA) does not charge 12% GST on their bill. If GST is already charged at 12% by the GTA, or if the service is from a non-GTA provider, RCM is generally not applicable. The timing of RCM payment and its impact on input tax credit (ITC) are also discussed, highlighting that the GTA's choice of tax payment method (forward charge vs. RCM) determines the applicable rate and ITC availability.
Suppose I am paying advance freight of 10k, and balance 20k is payable by the purchaser on receiving of such goods to the transporter. Who is responsible to pay RCM and on what amount?
@ sudevi as mr sagar ji explained it depends on gta if gta wants to pay tax in forward charge then he will charge 12% and u will get itc but if he charges 5% I.e rcm then u have to pay tax from cash ledger and u will get its itc also further it is a supply of service so advance recieved will be taxable also look 12(3) for time of supply of services under rcm if under forward charge then look 12(2)
