Sale of such old and used vehicle conform to definition of supply under Section 7 of CGST ACT. Here is an extract of FAQ dated 5.1.18. Q9. In transport industry, old vehicles, old tyres, scrap material etc, on which no Input Tax Credit (ITC) has been taken, are disposed of after completion of their useful life. As a truck owner disposing of these goods, am I required to pay GST considering that no ITC has been taken at the time of their initial purchases? Would levy of tax in such cases not amount to double taxation, as tax has already been paid at the time of initial purchases? Ans. Under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 supply i .....

Sale or disposal of old vehicles, old tyres and scrap material for a consideration would therefore attract GST regardless of whether ITC has been availed or not. Compensation cess is not leviable w.e.f. 25.1.18 vide Notification No. 1/2018-C.C. (Rate), dated 25-1-2018 amending original Notification no.1/2017-Compensation Cess (Rate) dated 28-06-2017 .

Does it mean only for transport industries or to any one who is selling old vehicles? Like in our case we are not engaged in transport activities.

Another doubt and point crops up and i will be delightful if you will clarify my doubt on the same. I was going through the said Notification No. 08/2018-CT(R) in detail and before the table it says rate specified on the value that represent margin of the supplier, on supply of such goods and at the end of table under Explanation it explains about Margin which is reproduced below:- Explanation For the purposes of this notification, - (i) in case of a registered person who has claime .....

How is its margin value is negative ? - Reply By Kush Lodha - The Reply = Sh. Kasturi Sethi Sir, In my query dt. 17.03.2021 i have also said about the WDV of asset which is 147350. As per the notification margin of supply is difference between selling price and purchase price (if no depreciation is taken) and if depreciation is taken then it should be difference between selling price and WDV of fixed asset. It also suggests that if margin of supply is negative it is to be ignored but whether if to be ignored means transaction value to be ta .....

Also, suppose for example, say selling price is 160000 and WDV is 147350 then i have to pay taxes on the difference only i.e. ₹ 12650/- but here in my case i have to pay on total transaction value i.e. ₹ 120000/-. Please clear my doubt sir. Thanks and Regards. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = Sh.Kush Lodha Ji, With reference to your above query, you are required to pay GST on ₹ 12650/-.
