GST ON SALE OF SECOND HAND VEHICLE :

Following are some of the cases with respect to sale of Second Hand Cars :

1). Individual sells to individual/un-registered dealer

GST is essentially a tax only on commercial transactions. Hence, only those supplies that are in the course or furtherance of business qualify as supply under GST ( SECTION 7 ). Hence, any supplies made by an individual in his personal capacity do not come under the ambit of GST unless they fall within the definition of business as defined in the Act.

Sale of personal used car by an individual will not attract GST (neither in the hands of buyer nor seller) because it is not covered within the meaning & scope of supply, since the element of 'furtherance of business' test is missing.

2. Individual sells to registered second-hand dealer

The Buyer is also not liable to pay GST on said purchase by virtue of Notification No.10/2017-Central Tax (Rate) New Delhi, dated 28th June, 2017.

3. Sale of Old & used vehicle by registered dealer

The expression 'supply' as per SECTION 7 (1) (a) of CGST Act, 2017 includes sale, lease, disposal. Therefore sale/disposal of old or used vehicle by a registered dealer for a consideration, is in the course or furtherance of business and hence it will qualify to be a supply. So, GST is applicable.

The Rate of GST is 18% and HSN CODE 8703.

For more information, refer Notification No. 8/2018 CT (Rate), dated 25/01/2018.
