Debate on GST Reverse Charge Mechanism for Vehicle Rentals: Does it Apply to Registered or Unregistered Providers? A discussion on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) focused on the reverse charge mechanism (RCM) for vehicle rentals to body corporates, as per Notification No. 22/2019-Central Tax (Rate). The main query was whether RCM applies when the service provider is registered, unregistered, or both.

The consensus leaned towards registered providers being subject to RCM, provided they meet specific conditions, including charging the appropriate GST rate. (AI Summary)
