We understand we have to pay 12 percent and have to show taxable value in 3.1.d of GSTR 3 B...AND IN NEXT month we will have to claim set off of this amount by claiming this amount in colum 4 A.3 of GSTR 3 B....

Please tell whether it is right.... - YES... YOU ARE EXACTLY CORRECT AS LIABILITY COLUMN AND ITC COLUMN

then what is the tax rate 5 percent...... - IF THE TRANSPORTER IS GTA THEN YOU CAN PAY ONLY 5% OF TAX AS CGST @ 2.5% & SGST @ 2.5%

please guide and help

Agreed with Raja Sir, meaning of GTA is as under..

As per Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June, 2017, “goods transport agency” or GTA means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called.

This means, while others might also hire out vehicles for goods transportation, only those issuing a consignment note are considered as a GTA. Thus, a consignment note is an essential condition to be considered as a GTA.

The applicable rate of GST as per Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) Dt : 28th June, 2017, is @ 5% (CGST – 2.5% + SGST – 2.5%). Therefore the Recipient is required to pay GST @ 5% on Reverse Charge Mechanism and of course the Recipient is allowed to take Input Tax Credit . He can avail it same month

Dear Prem ji,

It is GTA who got 2 options to pay GST, if GTA pays 12% GST then it can claim ITC and if pays 5% then GTA can not claim ITC.

Beside that any service provided by GTA to Registered Dealer, then RCM is applicable. and gst is to be paid by a registered dealer.

Tax Rate at which GST is to be paid by dealer under RCM is 5 %

Dealer can claim RCM paid in the same month or in subsequent month.
