Supply of GTA services alone is covered under RCM.
GTA service provider has an option to collect tax @ 12%. If GST is not charged in the invoice, then only the tax liability shifts to the recipient of GTA services.
Tax rate applicable in such case is 5% (if GTA service provider not claimed ITC), 12% (if he claimed ITC).
Therefore, the restriction of claiming ITC is for GTA service provider not for the recipient of such service.
