Dear Sir/Madam,

We charged freight charges on invoice and calculated GST on the same rate as applicable on goods. But the same amount of freight paid to GTA. Is GST to be paid on RCM also.?

Example:

Value of Goods 90000/-

Freight charges 10000/-

Taxable value 100000/-

GST @ 18% 18000/-

Total Invoice value 118000

Now we paid 10000 to GTA and my Freight account shown in Profit and loss account as 0/-(10000 Dr-10000 Cr).

Is RCM applicable on payment to GTA of 10000/-

Thanking you

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) GST is applicable when paying freight charges to a Goods Transport Agency (GTA), especially when these charges are included in your own invoice to the customer. The consensus suggests that if the GTA charges GST on a forward charge basis, you can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). However, if the GTA is unregistered or opts for a different tax scheme, RCM might be applicable, and your eligibility for ITC could be affected.

The goods transport agency opts to pay the tax on forwards charge basis then, such GTA would be liable to pay central tax @ 6% on all the services of GTA (including used household goods for personal use) supplied by it. So, the tax rate on GTA services on forward charges basis was fixed @ 12% (6% CGST & 6% SGST).

If GTA opts to charge tax on forward charges basis then the service provider & services recipient, both would be eligible to get the input tax credit.

What u did is u took service of gta and give service of transportation to the buyer..so basically u will have to collect gst by buyer and pay rcm to gta if he is unregistered as u have taken service from him and given to the buyer
