There was a lot of confusion about whether a GTA has to register under GST. As per Notification No. 5/2017- Central Tax dated 19/06/2017, a person who is engaged in making only supplies of taxable goods/services on which Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applies is exempted from obtaining registration under GST.

Thus, a GTA does not have to register under GST if he is exclusively transporting goods where the total tax is required to be paid by the recipient under reverse charge basis (even if the turnover exceeds the threshold limit).

But my question is GTA is providing services on RCM basis does he is not registered & this month he has received Legal Services from an Advocate which is also to be payable on RCM basis, so does he needs to get registered & pay Gst of Legal services.?

He is exempted from Registration, no need to get registered, just pay the legal fees. subject to TDS

Legal services comes under gst.... advocate have to register under GST plus tds both.....
