RCM payment : Transport

This discussion addresses a common query regarding Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) payments for transport services. If an individual mistakenly paid 12% GST under RCM when only 5% was due, the consensus is that they can indeed claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the entire 12% paid. The ability to claim ITC is not dependent on paying the correct RCM rate, but rather on the fact that the tax was paid.
