Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a manufacturing company needs to charge 18% GST on transportation charges added to invoices when supplying goods. The consensus is that if transportation is an ancillary supply to the main goods being sold, it falls under composite supply rules. Therefore, the GST rate applicable to the principal supply (the goods themselves) should be applied to the transportation charges as well.

Dear Umesh ji
what are transporting??? are GTA .

Iam Assuming that your transportation is your ancillary supply , hence the rate will be applicable the rate of your principal supply ( under compost supply , refer Section 8 of CGST Act )
Dear Sir, We are a Manufacturing Company and Supplying Goods to various parts of Karanataka. Hence we are paying a Pacific amount to the local transport against supplying of goods to the parties, the same amount we are adding in invoice which we have paid to get refund so for that amount we have to add GST of 18% in the Invoice..

that whats i have replied. if you are charging transportation exp on bill its ancillary supply to your principal supply .

you are not providing transportation services to your client, but giving him facility of transportation serivices, hence your main supply (principal) supply is the goods you are supplying . hence it will cover under the composit supply and the tax rate on transportation services will be same which is on goods

Thanks Sir....
