Hi,
I have an doubt on RCM under GTA. As per Sec 2(62), clearly given that, a recipient is entitle to avail ITC of the tax payable under the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (4) of
section 9.
In this regards, As per the schedule given under Service. GST on GTA will be paid by the recipient as RCM @ 5%, but in schedule found “NO ITC” .
Whether “NO ITC” means, ITC is not for the service provider for his input tax or to the Recipient who pay under RCM
GST paid under reverse charge , can it be taken as Input
What about purchase Services/Goods from unregistered persons ???
Does it not attract reverse charge ??
Dear Expert,
While reading this article, it seems there is no RCM of Rent A Cab service? Kindly reply.
