GST on shipping charges ( If shipping is charged separately from item price )

[cooldeal4u]

I like to know if shipping charges are taxable under gst. If yes what is the rate of tax that is to be applied to shipping charges.

You don't have to pay any extra on shipping. Basically if you are selling an item for 140+60 shipping then ebay will deduct its fee on entire Rs 200 and add Service Tax to it which is now 18% under GST.

If you are selling via Powership then they may charge you 18% GST (Service Tax) on shipping fee whatever that may be. However only if they were earlier charging Service Tax.

Yes the GST on courier is 18% and ebay did charge service tax(@ 15%) and now will charge GST @ 18% which you can get back if you have GSTIN.

what, if we ship by our own courier? we have to charge 18% on shipping cost in the invoice or it is exempted?
I have read that transportation charges are exmpted if they are below 1500 rupees. otherwise they will be charged @ same rate as of the product gst rate.
