Quick Summary
This discussion explores the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on hiring or renting motor vehicles. It clarifies that RCM applies under specific conditions, particularly when the service provider is a non-corporate body, has opted for a 5% GST scheme with limited ITC, and the recipient is a body corporate. The conversation also touches upon the financial implications for a body corporate if the supplier opts to charge 12% GST instead of RCM.

In term of Notification 22/2019 , yes RCM is applicable only hiring of motor vehicles, but subject following conditions:

1Supplier of Service provider is Non corporate body
2. Supplier has opted scheme of 5% with limited ITC
3. Receptient is Body corporate.

Hence RCM is applicable when all the above conditions are fulfills

Currently we (Body corporate) are paying RCM on 5% on vehicle hiring. Now supplier wants to opt forward gst. If he charges 12% then our cost will be increased as ITC is not available for us. Shall we allow them to charges 12%?
