Dear Sh. Ganeshan ji,

You are right. Registered Person has to work out which Notification suits him most. Notification 37/2017-CGST applies to sales value, whereas Notification issued on Jan 25, 2018 is on Margin of Supplier.

AI Summary

GST on used motor vehicle: choice between sales-value and margin-based notifications determines tax treatment. GST on supply of used motor vehicles by a transporter is governed by two alternative notifications: Notification 37/2017-CGST, which applies where tax is computed on the sales value, and the IGST notification of 25 January 2018, which applies where tax is computed on the supplier's margin; registered persons must determine which notification is more favourable and apply that basis.
