GTA RCM is payable by specified recipient of service and recipient is the person who pays or is liable to pay freight.
So, if goods are transported on FOR basis (freight paid by supplier), RCM tax payable by supplier and if freight is borne by the buyer (Ex-Works), buyer will pay RCM tax.
Now, if buyer is unregistered, then RCM is not applicable since he does not fall in the list of specified persons and GST will be paid by the GTA under forward charge, if it is registered.
