RCM applicable. The applicability of RCM on renting vehicles has helped small service providers with improved liquidity by reducing their GST compliance. Paying GST on forward charge was not possible as they received payment for their services after several months. It was decided in the 37th GST Council Meeting to put the supply of renting of motor vehicles under RCM for suppliers paying GST at 5%.
