Confusion over GST rates resolved: 5% without ITC, 12% with ITC for staff transportation services. 18% is incorrect. A user inquired about the applicable GST rate for hiring buses and vans for staff transportation, with conflicting information from transporters suggesting either 5% or 18%. Responses clarified that the GST rate is typically 5% for transportation services when input tax credit (ITC) is not availed, and 12% if ITC is availed. It was noted that 18% is incorrect. Additionally, specific conditions under which different rates apply were mentioned, such as the type of vehicle and service. The discussion referenced a GST Council meeting and a relevant notification for further clarification. (AI Summary)
