Vehicle-hire exemption: truck owners supplying vehicles are not liable for GST; freight tax may fall on transporter, consignor or consignee.
The supply of a truck by its owner to a transporter for hiring is exempt under the cited notification, so the truck owner is not liable to pay GST for providing the vehicle for transportation of goods. GST on freight is payable by the transporter under the forward charge mechanism or by the consignor or consignee as the taxable payer of the carriage service. (AI Summary)
