iam having a doubt. if i book a goods through a transport agency. that transport agency will not issue a note, because they don't have a truck on their name & that agency arranges a truck through another agency. this agency will issue a LR & the second agency will pay charges to real owner of truck. how to pay gst & how to get REM. more
Dear Sanjeev Kumar first of all I would like to clear that transporters are exempt under GST. They have no liability of paying GST on freight charged by them. If you are a registered dealer and you are paying freight for your inward supplies then under reverse charge mechanism (RCM) you are liable to pay IGST, CGST or SGST as the case may be and for that you have to issue invoice also under RCM. There is a myth that if you pay GST under RCM on freight you can claim Input Tax Credit on it. Input is only available if you have a consignee note. If you dont have a consignee note then you are bound to pay GST under RCM but not entitled for any Input Credit on it. Please remember that on transportation through road there is consignor or consignee is liable for payment of GST under RCM. more
