Transporter GST Duties: GTA Exempt from Tax, Consigner or Consignee Liable Under Reverse Charge; Exemptions Apply A transporter inquired about service tax on interstate freight, receiving multiple expert responses. If the transporter is a Goods Transport Agency (GTA), they are exempt from registration and paying tax; the responsibility falls on the consigner or consignee under reverse charge. However, exemptions apply if charges per consignment do not exceed specific amounts. Liability for GST payment follows a preference order: consignee, consignor, third party, then transporter. If others refuse, the GTA must pay GST. Options include paying 5% GST without input tax credit or 12% with credit. The government encourages participation in the credit system. (AI Summary)
