Dear Querist,

As per circular mentioned by you and on the basis of various decisions of AARs/AAARs on this issue, the person doing job-work will pay GST @ 18% and the person who supplies the complete bus will pay GST @28%. In other words, the principal is liable to pay @28%.There is no dispute/doubt about it. It is natural that Principal will also take ITC of GST paid to the job-worker and will pay GST on value addition.

Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji,

I agree with you. You have correctly posted the latest decision of AAR. This is with reference to your views expressed somewhere else against this very Issue ID.
