Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an outdoor catering business can claim GST on transport charges by paying tax under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). It explains that RCM is applicable to transportation services provided by Goods Transport Agencies (GTAs). However, if the business is paying output GST at 5%, Input Tax Credit (ITC) will not be allowed, unless they have not opted for composition.

If you are paying the output GST @ 5% then ITC will not be allowed.

The author describes RCM and how it may be used by catering businesses, and gives some examples. This paper may be of greater interest and relevance to individuals in the catering sector in India, but it is still a valuable read for anybody curious about the RCM system.

 

No.... RCM is applicable on transportation services provided by GTA (Ref: Notification 13/2017 CT rate)
