Debate Over Correct GST Rate for Truck Owners: 12% or 18%? Clarification on Exemptions and Charge Mechanisms. A discussion on Goods and Services Tax (GST) involves a query about the correct GST rate for truck owners providing logistics services through a Goods Transport Agency (GTA). The initial question concerns whether charging 12% GST on transportation bills is appropriate. One response suggests an 18% GST rate may apply, while another clarifies that two services are involved: truck hiring, which is exempt, and transportation services, which are under the Forward Charge Mechanism (FCM) rather than the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). A reference to a decision by the Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) in Karnataka is also mentioned. (AI Summary)
