SAC code and rate of GST on consideration received for moving chasis, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Hariharan Sundaram]

Dear experts, one person is engaged in the movement of vehicle chasis fitted with engine received from the automobile manufacturer from one place to other as per the directions of the automobile manufacturer. Normally such vehicle chasis are driven by the drivers on road and termed as convoy . Kindly clarify under which category this service is falling (SAC ) and the rate of GST thereof. It is a lumpsum contract and the driver wages, diesel and other expenses are borne by the person who is moving the chasis.

Dear Sir,

My counter question would be - Whether such person who is moving the goods is falling under the definition of GTA as per Clause (ze) of Notification No. 12/2017 ?

If there is no issue of consignment note, may not be a GTA.

Since it is transportation services it will be under HSN 9965 and rate of tax 18% if not a GTA
