This supply is in the course of business or furtherance of business and hence taxable.

They are chaging 29.25% gst , it it right

[KASTURI SETHI]

This is GST rate (28 % = 14 +14%) for new vehicle. See Notification No.1/17-CT(Rate) dated 28.6.17 as amended from time to time up to 31.12.2018. Serial No.165 (8703).

And see notification no.5/17-CC (Rate) dated 11.9.17 for Cess.

Thanks but can you just help me understand whether they are charging the correct percentage.

GST Rate 29.25% is correct. For old & used car follow the reply of Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji. You are to decide from both options/Notifications.

Sir

If thecar is a business asset in the books of the employer and employer claimed depreciation for income tax assessments then the taxable value for such used car shall be “ the difference between the depreciated value as onthe date of sale and actual sale value realised from buyer. If if the difference is positive GST 18% or 12% ( see Notifications Jan 2018) is payable on the difference. If the difference is negative you may ignore.

However the higher purchase agreement is to be seen for conditions if any to decide sale of new car or used car
