AI Summary

GST on freight: supplier may collect tax from recipient; applicable rate depends on input tax credit and reverse charge.
A registered transporter may collect GST from the recipient and remit it to the government. The applicable tax rate depends on whether the supplier claims input tax credit on goods used to provide the service; a lower rate applies without such credit and a higher rate applies when credit is claimed. If the recipient is a notified category, the tax liability may shift to the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism.
