Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services under GST. RCM applies to both purchase and sale transactions where the recipient pays the freight, provided the freight exceeds ₹750 per vehicle. Importantly, services provided by buses and railways do not fall under the definition of GTA and are therefore not subject to RCM.

RCM is applicable on that party which is liable to pay freight to GTA.
Bus and railway don't come under GTA.
Railway is outright out of definition of GTA. Buses don't give consignment note therefore they are also outside the definition of GTA.

Rcm is applicable on both purchase and sale transaction

on 8000 bill-t rcm may be applicable


gta transaction has limit of 750 per vehicle. if the freight is more than 750 then only rcm applies.


the person paying the freight charges is required to pay tax on rcm. its simply based on the freight amount. apply 5% on freight paid amount.


bus and railways dont come under gta and hence no rcm
