Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether businesses eligible for an inverted duty refund can also claim back the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) tax paid on freight. The user, a manufacturer selling goods at 5% GST after purchasing at 18%, paid RCM on freight and wants to know if this RCM amount can be included in their refund claim, regardless of whether the GTA was registered or unregistered.

Pls explain gta is one thing. inverted duty ix another aspdct.
We are manufacturer our purchase @ 18% and sale @ 5% and we paid rcm on Freight. so my question is can we refund claim including rcm tax only tax paid on goods only

RCM paid on freight in an inverted duty refund:
• Inverted duty refunds (Sec 54(3)(ii), Rule 89(5)) include only ITC on inputs (goods). Input services (including GTA freight paid under RCM) are excluded from "Net ITC" (VKC Footsteps, SC 2021). So ITC of RCM paid on freight isn't refundable under inverted duty.
• RCM tax paid in cash itself isn't refundable (it's a tax liability, discharged correctly).
• The RCM ITC can be used against output tax.
