    To move taxable goods from my factory premises to GTA Transport office for supply to the buyer through local transport i.e. Auto or mini carriage vehicles (Un registered) at the time we have paid outward freight charges to un registered persons with RCM -5% (Input & Output shown in GSTR-3B) in this regard we booked expenses as Outward freight Charges in Profit & Loss account. But, GST Officer not accepted by GST RCM-5% input taken, They demanded 18% GST. So , pls give the advice which is the correct?

    Dear Sir,
    Ours is a residential welfare society registered under societies act, Govt of Andhra Pradesh. We have 518 apartments in our welfare society and there is only one electric supply meter. We have sub meters to individual flats and other common utilities.

    We have registered with GST and paying gst on other services.

    We collect Rs.2500/- per flat towards maintenance of common utilities and Electric bill from Individual flats as per sub meter reading. Association will receive total bill and flat occupants will reimburse electricity bill as per their consumption recorded in the mater.

    There is lot of controversy regarding electricity bill collected by the association from the residents. If monthly maintenance+ electricity charges exceeds Rs.7500/- whether we need to collect GST. Please clarify.

    With Regards
