Goods Transport Agency Must Collect GST on Freight Under Forward Charge; Exemptions Apply for Truck Hire Between GTAs. A client, a Goods Transport Agency (GTA), has transitioned from the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) to the Forward Charge Mechanism (FCM) and seeks clarity on GST obligations when charging freight to industrial clients and other GTAs. It was clarified that services from one GTA to another are not exempt under FCM, and the client must collect and remit GST on freight. If a GTA hires a truck from the client, it is exempt. The discussion emphasized the importance of choosing either FCM or RCM, as a hybrid approach could lead to complications. (AI Summary)
