Manpower, transport, and cab services may need GST registration; small-scale exemption limit could apply. Await final enactment. A participant in a discussion forum inquired whether manpower suppliers, goods transport agencies, and rent-a-cab service providers are required to register under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), considering the reverse charge mechanism applied under the current service tax rules. An expert responded that while it is likely these providers will need to register, they may benefit from the small-scale threshold exemption limit of 20 lakhs under GST. However, they advised waiting for the final enactment, as changes could occur before implementation. (AI Summary)
