Bcoz, In my view hanling container and others is a big Transportaion. So, Please explain how is going this business....

Which businesses are liable to pay GST under reverse charge for a GTA?

The following businesses (recipient of services) is required to pay GST under reverse charge:-

  1. Factory registered under the Factories Act,1948;
  2. A society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or under any other law
  3. A co-operative society established under any law;
  4. A GST registered person
  5. A body corporate established by or under any law; or
  6. A partnership firm whether registered or not (including AOP)
  7. Casual taxable person
see my main conern is that as they are not issuing consignment note so they are not GTA.. In this business they have contacts with cfs where the containers have to be moved from port within specific time period so that movement of containers can be hassle free in port. My client has 15 trailers with which he move the containers to and from the port as per cfs instructions. for entry in port cfs give them PIN Code and when my client raises the bill he just mention the container numbers he picked to and from port which cfs cross check with their records and pass the bill accordingly.. so there is no involvemnet of consignment note as such.. And I think this service should be exempt from gst.

Dear Once again read my reply....

I know the details of movements of containers, Shipment....
