| Yes, GST is applicable. Here is the analysis: 1. Nature of Transaction: When you recover Rs. 1,500 from the transporter for loading charges arranged by you, it is a 'supply of service' (facilitating loading/unloading) to the transporter. This is taxable under GST. 2. GST Rate: Loading/unloading charges fall under SAC 9967 (Supporting services in transport — cargo handling). GST rate is 18%. 3. Value of Supply: The value is Rs. 1,500 (the amount actually recovered, not Rs. 1,000 which was your cost). The Rs. 500 difference (profit/margin) is also part of the taxable value. 4. Pure Agent Exception: If you can demonstrate that you acted as a 'pure agent' — i.e., you paid Rs. 1,000 to loaders exactly on behalf of the transporter and only recovered exact cost of Rs. 1,000 — then that Rs. 1,000 can be excluded from GST value under Rule 33 of CGST Rules. But since you are recovering Rs. 1,500 (more than your cost), you are NOT a pure agent — GST applies on full Rs. 1,500. 5. Practical Action: Issue a proper GST invoice to the transporter for Rs. 1,500 + 18% GST. Your cost of Rs. 1,000 paid to loaders — check if GST was paid and if ITC can be availed. |
