If you provide service to unregistered person, liability to discharge GST is cast upon you. Since you bear expenses of fuel (which was to be borne by service recipient) and discharge liability of GST of recipient, by paying GST @18% in place of @ 5%, it is implied that ITC would be available to you as Service Provider. This is my view.

I have used the word, "implied" in my reply. The basis of my reply is that there is restriction against column of rate of GST "5% (with no ITC)" .There is no such restriction against higher rate i.e. 18 %. Normally when you pay at higher rate whether it is pre-GST era or post GST era, input service credit/ITC is allowed. In GST full credit of ITC has been allowed whereas it was not so in pre-GST period. There is nothing specific entry to the effect that (with 18% ITC is allowed)". Board should have specifically mentioned against the column--Rate of GST 18% ITC is alllowed. There are some entries of 5% where ITC has been allowed.

If you want to be tension free, you may writ to your jurisdictional Range Officer or seek clarification direct from the Board and if no satisfactory response is received, you may opt for Advance Ruling authorit

AI Summary

GST on rent-a-cab: supplier to unregistered recipient is liable and may claim ITC when higher-rate tax is paid.
A rent-a-cab supplier to an unregistered recipient is liable to discharge GST; if the supplier bears the recipient's expense and pays tax at a higher rate, Input Tax Credit is treated as impliedly available because the notifications expressly restrict credit only for certain lower-rate entries. Taxpayers should seek jurisdictional or Board clarification or an Advance Ruling to confirm the credit position.
