Place of supply for GTA transactor and payment of RCM

[Sanjoy Das]

We are manufacturing company in assam. We have been paying GTA for inward and outward supply of goods. One case that transporter has registered in Meghalaya state and he was transported the goods from ASSAM to ASSAM as per consignment note issued by him.

When the trasnproter raised the freght bill to us, he was quoted his GST nubmer of Meghalaya and as per our vendor master address of our system, the payment of GTA was IGST under RCM.

Kindly advise that IGST paid under RCM is correct in this case where the consignment note issued by transporter is ASSAM to ASSAM and as per condition in GST of 'Place of Supply'

Sir,

Since the transport of goods from Assam to Assam and you are paying the tax under RCM the location of the transporter is not relevant. since the goods are transported from Assam to Assam you have to pay CGST and SGST and not IGST. This view is applicable only in the case where the tax is paid under RCM.

[Altamush Zafar]

Yes its correct as the place of supply is Assam and the location of supplier is Meghalaya. To determine whether IGST or CGST/SGST is to be paid only these two criteria are to be tested. So in your case IGST will be charged.

Since GTA is a service , then the place of supply of service would be the registered person receiving the service it is his location. In this case place of supply is ASSAM and hence it should be CGST and SGST.

[KASTURI SETHI]

CGST/SGST is applicable. In this scenario, Section 12(8)(a) of the IGST Act, 2017 shall apply and, therefore, the place of supply will be Assam, the location of the registered person who has received the taxable supply.

Dear all

First We need to identify the PoS which is assam being location of registered recipient.

Now , Sec.7 of IGST act to decide intra or inter state. In this case location of supplier is in Meghalaya and PoS is in Assam. Hence IGST.

Now , levy of tax section.9.

As per 9(3) the said liability is to be paid by recipient i.e the registered recipient.

Hence please pay IGST.

AI Summary

Dispute Over IGST vs. CGST/SGST for Intra-State Transport in Assam; Section 7 IGST Act in Focus A manufacturing company in Assam sought advice on whether Integrated GST (IGST) or Central GST and State GST (CGST/SGST) should be paid under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for goods transported within Assam by a transporter registered in Meghalaya. The consensus among respondents was divided. Some argued that since the goods were transported within Assam, CGST and SGST should apply, as the place of supply is Assam. Others contended that IGST is applicable because the supplier's location is in Meghalaya, making it an inter-state transaction under Section 7 of the IGST Act.
