turnover for the PFY was ₹ 12.75 lakhs. In CFY upto the month of September 20XX the aggregate turnover
of outward supply of Amco Ltd. was ₹ 10.35 lakhs.
Amco Ltd. does not get itself registered under GST as the threshold limit does not crosses the limit of
₹ 20 lakhs.
In the meanwhile, it has availed the service by way of renting of motor vehicle from Mr. Poonawala
for the total consideration of ₹ 1.5 lakhs on 5th October 20XX (including cost of fuel).
Mr. Poonawala opted for paying tax @ 5% (i.e. 2.5% CGST & 2.5% SGST) and avail input tax
credit of input service received from supplier who is also engaged in same line of business. Examine the tax
liability in this case and the person who is liable to pay such tax.
Would your answer differ, if such service by way of renting of motor vehicle was provided by Mr. Poonawala

Answer:- Legal Provision:
Ü As per section 9(3) of CGST Act 2017, Service provided by Renting of any motor vehicles, designed to
carry passengers, (where the cost of fuel is included in the consideration charged from the service
recipient), by any person other than body corporate (paying tax @ 2.5%CGST & 2.5% SGST, with
limited ITC), to a body corporate (located in TT), the liability to pay tax shall be upon recipient (i.e.
Body corporate)
Ü As per section 24 of CGST Act, any person who is required to pay tax under reverse charge shall be liable for
compulsory registration even though the aggregate turnover is below the threshold limit.
Discussion & Conclusion:
Ü In the given case, Amco Ltd. shall be liable to get register under GST & pay tax on ₹ 1.5 lakhs at the rate as may
be specified under reverse charge. Also, Amco Ltd. need to apply for compulsory registration.
Ü However, if such service was provided to any person other than a body corporate say Mr. Ayush in the above
case, then the provision of above said notification will not apply and such service would fall under forward
charge and Mr. Poonawala will be liable for payment of tax at the rate of 2.5% CGST & 2.5% SGST.
