GST Slabs for Packers and Movers Services

0% GST: Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)

This slab applies when the recipient, such as a business with a GST number, agrees to pay the GST directly to the government. If you are only availing transportation services and opt for the reverse charge mechanism, no GST will be charged by the service provider. The customer must ensure they are registered under GST and declare the tax accordingly.

5% GST: Transportation Services Only

When you use only transportation services from Vetrivel Transports, a flat 5% GST is applied. This includes cases where goods are moved without additional services such as dismantling, packing, loading, or unloading. This ensures an economical option for customers with limited requirements.

12% GST: Business Transportation Services

When businesses avail of transportation services exclusively, the applicable GST rate is 12%. It covers the cost of transporting goods from one location to another. However, additional services such as dismantling, packaging, or loading/unloading would attract 18% GST.

18% GST: Full-Service Packers and Movers

When opting for a complete relocation package—covering dismantling, packing, loading, unloading, transportation, and insurance—the applicable GST rate is 18%. This ensures comprehensive service with proper tax compliance, offering a seamless moving experience.

28% GST: Misconception Alert

Packers and movers services are not subject to the 28% GST slab. This slab is reserved for luxury items such as high-end goods and commodities like gold and silver. If you encounter a service provider attempting to charge 28% GST, it is against GST regulations, and you should report the issue to the appropriate authorities.
