Dear sir,

Under GST regime, GTA services are covered under reverse charge mechanism and transportation of goods by road has been exempted from GST.

You are required to identify whether supplier of transportation of goods is a GTA or Transportation service supplier ( Differentiating factor - consignment note)

If he is a GTA , you are required to identify the responsible person to pay to such GTA. Such person has to discharge the liability under RCM
