Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) for freight and forwarding services, specifically concerning Safe Express. It addresses whether Safe Express acts as a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) and how to correctly record entries in Tally, distinguishing between Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) and forward charge scenarios. The correct GST rates for GTAs (5% or 12%) are also highlighted, with a focus on claiming ITC.

Is Safeexpress pvt Ltd  GTA ( Goods Transport Agency) ?. if yes , are you  paying GST under RCM ? please clarify.

Yes Safeexpress is GTA and gst bill also shown in gstr 2b

Are you paying GST under RCM ? , because  for  GTA  RCM  is applicable , if  GTA  is not opted  to pay GST  under  Forward charged .  

Dear Mr Prasad Nilugal Sir,

please check the Tax Value...

Yes , I have notice that  18 %  IGST  ( 5000 *18% = 900 )   has been charged , however in case of  GTA  its either 5% ( No ITC )  or 12% ( with ITC )  in case of RCM, So that  clarification also  needed  .

So,

If Safe Express charged 18% GST then its not under RCM basis. Right...??!
