Journal Entry for RCM on Transport Charges When paying Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on transport charges and availing input tax credit: -

 *RCM Payment*: - *Debit*: Transportation Expenses (net of GST) - *Debit*: Input Tax Credit (ITC) - CGST/SGST/IGST (5% of transport charges) -

*Credit*: GST Payable (CGST/SGST/IGST) (5% of transport charges) -

*Credit*: Cash/Bank (Total amount paid, including GST) - *Input Tax Credit*: -

 *Debit*: GST Payable (CGST/SGST/IGST) -

*Credit*: Input Tax Credit (ITC) - CGST/SGST/IGST Example Assuming transport charges are ₹100, and RCM is 5%: -

 *RCM Payment*: - *Debit*: Transportation Expenses ₹95 -

*Debit*: Input Tax Credit (ITC) ₹5 -

*Credit*: GST Payable ₹5 -

*Credit*: Cash/Bank ₹100 -

*Transportation Expenses*: Record the net transportation expenses (excluding GST) in the profit and loss account. -

*Input Tax Credit*: Claim the input tax credit in your GST returns and utilize it to offset GST liabilities. By passing these journal entries, you can accurately record the RCM payment and input tax credit in your books of accounts.
