If you are a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) then you are exempt from registration. And you are free from collecting and paying tax to the exchequer. The consigner or consignee whoever pays the freight shall pay tax under reverse charge.

Dear Querist (GTA),
I further add that preference-wise liability for payment of GST on freight is as under:-
1. Consignee
2. Consignor
\ 3. Any third person
4. Transporter (by road)
If above three persons refuse to pay GST on freight, whatever may be the reason, GTA is legally required to pay GST on freight for transportation of goods by road. So your freedom from registration as well as GST liability is restric

Goods Transport Agency in GST

Goods Transport Agency in GST
GST Law and Procedure – GST Law and Procedure [January, 2019]
GST
Chapter Thirty Eight
Goods Transport Agency in GST
Background of levying tax on the services of Goods Transport Agency
The levy of Service Tax on Road Transportation Service has always been a contentious issue. The Finance Act, 1997 had levied Service Tax on Goods Transport Operators w.e.f. 1611-1997 which was subsequently withdrawn after nationwide strike. Thereafter by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004 Service Tax was imposed on Transport of Goods by Road service rendered by a goods transport agency with effect from 10-09-2004. However, the levy was deferred until further notice again in view of transporters' strike. The Government thereafter constituted a Committee to deal with the issue and after taking into account the recommendations of the Committee, Notification Nos. 32 to 35/2004 – ST all dated 03-12-2004 were issued, levying tax on Transport of Goods by Road with effect fro

ST.
Who is a GTA – Goods Transport Agency? As per Section 65B (26) of the Finance Act, 1994; “Goods Transport Agency means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called”. Therefore, in the Service Tax regime, issuance of Consignment Note (C/N) was integral and mandatory requirement before any road transporter could be brought within the ambit of GTA.
Position under GST
Under GST laws, the definition of Goods Transport Agency is provided in clause (ze) of notification no.12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017.
(ze) “goods transport agency” means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called;
Thus, it can be seen that issuance of a consignment note is the sine-qua-non for a supplierof service to be considered as a Goods Transport Agency. If such a consignment note is not issued by the transporter, the service provider

signment note means a document, issued by a goods transport agency against the receipt of goods for the purpose of transport of goods by road in a goods carriage, which is serially numbered, and contains the name of the consignor and consignee, registration number of the goods carriage in which the goods are transported, details of the goods transported, details of the place of origin and destination, person liable for paying service tax whether consignor, consignee or the goods transport agency.
Charge of GST on services provided by GTA
In terms of notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 as amended by notification no. 20/2017- Central tax (Rate) dated 22.08.2017, sr.no. 9 and sr. no. 11, (i) Services of goods transport agency (GTA) in relation to transportation of goods (including used household goods for personal use) (Heading 9965 &9967 respectively) attracts GST @2.5% or 6% CGST. Identical rate would be applicable for SGST also, taking the effective rate to 5

he GTA from taking ITC if this option is availed.
Thus, where the GTA is not eligible to take ITC for the supplies effected by it and the liability under GST is discharged under reverse charge basis, the recipient of GTA service discharging the tax liability is entitled to take Input Tax Credit (ITC) of the amount of tax paid under reverse charge, provided it is used in the course or furtherance of business at his end. Further the recipient would be eligible for ITC of the GST paid by GTA on forward charge basis.
Notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), sr.no.11, (ii) also provides that supporting services in transport other than those mentioned in (i) (Heading 9967) would attract GST @9% CGST. Identical rate would be applicable for SGST also, taking the effective rate to 18%. Similar rate has been prescribed for services falling under heading 9965 in terms of notification no. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), sr.no. 9 (v).
Person Liable to Pay GST on GTA services
The liability to pa

under any law; or
(f) any partnership firm whether registered or not under any law including association of persons; or
(g) any casual taxable person.
Thus in cases where services of GTA are availed by the above categories of persons in the taxable territory the GTA supplier has the option to pay tax (and avail ITC) @12% (6% CGST + 6% SGST);and if the GTA does not avail this option, the liability to pay GST will fall on the recipients. In all other cases where the recipients do not fall in the categories mentioned above, the liability will be on the supplier of GTA services.
GTA services specifically exempt
In terms of notification no.12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 (sr.no.21), the following services provided by a GTA (Heading 9965 or 9967) is exempt from payment of tax:
Services provided by a goods transport agency, by way of transport in a goods carriage of –
(a) agricultural produce;
(b) goods, where consideration charged for the transportation of goods on a con

he use of the phrase 'in relation to' has extended the scope of the definition of GTA. It includes not only the actual transportation of goods, but any intermediate/ancillary service provided in relation to such transportation, like loading/unloading, packing/unpacking, trans-shipment, temporary warehousing, etc. If these services are not provided as independent activities but are the means for successful provision of GTA Service, then they are also covered under GTA.
Conclusion
The above discussion shows that not all transport of goods by road is by a GTA. To qualify as services of GTA, the GTA should be necessarily issuing a consignment note. Only services provided by a GTA are taxable under GST. Services of transportation of goods by a person other than GTA are exempt. Moreover, in cases where the service of GTA is availed by the specified categories of persons in the taxable territory, the recipients who avail such services are the ones liable to pay GST and not the supplier of s

f old and junk buses of the KSRTC vide Annexure-A for E-auction commencing from 11.09.2017.
3. The grievance of the petitioners is that in the said notice inviting tenders (NIT) from the intending purchasers of these scarp buses, the rates of GST (Goods and Services Tax) as recently introduced in India w.e.f. 01.07.2017 applicable in the said notice is given in Col.No.4 of Annexure-A Notice as “As applicable /28.0”.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the rate of GST Tax applicable on the scrap buses which cannot be plied on road as normal buses and they can be put to auction only after being certified by the concerned RTO Authorities as the scrap, not fit to be plied on road, cannot attract 28% rate of GST under the new GST regime enacted in the Central GST Act, 2017 and Karnataka Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and therefore, this Court by interfering in the present petitions may direct the Respondents-KSRTC to collect the GST Tax only at the rate of 18% under

ubmitted before the Court that the rate of GST quoted in the said E-Tender Notice Annexure-A issued by the Respondent-KSRTC is mentioned as “As applicable/28.0” and its not fixed at 28% only. He submitted that if the petitioners have any confusion with regard to the correct rate of GST, they are at liberty to either approach the Respondent-KSRTC itself for clarification or the competent authority, namely, Authority for Advance Ruling under the provisions of Section 96 of the CGST/KGST Act, 2017. Therefore, there is no justification for this Court to interfere at this stage.
6. Having heard the learned counsels for the parties, this Court is satisfied that at such initial tender process initiated by the Respondents-KSRTC, the present petitions filed by the petitioners are premature and misconceived and do not require any interference by this Court at this stage. First of all, the GST rates as indicated in the said E-Tender Notice Annexure-A does not give the fixed rate of GST at 28% as

It is for the petitioners to approach and represent the concerned Government for the constitution and manning of these Advance Ruling Authorities, as prescribed under Section 96 of the GST Act.
