Quick Summary
This discussion addresses GST liability for transport intermediaries who hire vehicles and provide them to clients. The core question is whether to charge 5% or 12% GST, particularly when the intermediary is a registered Goods Transport Agency (GTA) and wishes to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). The advice suggests that charging 12% GST is appropriate if the intermediary wants to claim ITC.

Whether you client is GTA ????
12% if he wants to claim itc
