    GST & Bike Servicing

    Hi Folks,

    I gave my bike for service yesterday and got back a bill with 28% Tax! Is this normal? What is the correct GST tax rate for Bike Servicing?

      As per the government list (http://www.cbec.gov.in/resources//ht...20services.pdf) under sl.36 page 4, it is supposed to be charged at 18%.

      Ask politely if they have a instruction leaflet which demands 28% from govt for the service provided and not the sale of spares of motor vehicle itself. If not ask them to refund the 10%.

      Note: Motor vehicles, its parts and spares are all charged 28% plus cess (this is because it absorbs the vat and other charges of goods.)

      There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. So ride safe when you are treading uncharted roads.

        I bought a chain spray from a TVS service center yesterday. MRP on the can - Rs 135. Was asked to pay Rs 150 due to GST price changes. Roughly 10% increase.

        I didn't pay in cash but made the mistake of not asking for the bill since I was in a hurry.

        I realized later that it was probably stock bought before 1st July and I probably shouldn't be charged the extra 10% but I'm not clear on this

          I serviced my Gixxer motorcycle after the introduction of GST. They charged 400/- in the name of servicing which does not include consumables (oil, filters, chain clean, etc.) Total bill was of 990/- (Previously the bill used to come around 500/- to 600/- inclusive of consumables)

          Now I feel cheated


          P.S. - My bike has completed all service coupons & done 14K in 2 years

            First and Foremost thing, MRP is Max retail price which is inclusive of all Taxes(before it was Vat+Excise duty and other taxes) now it would include GST, so MRP itself contains all the taxes, so you have been cheated and should have opted for a bill. although the amount difference is just 15 rs but that directly contributes into his BlackMoney.

              I think the stock was labelled before the implementation of GST .

                That doesn't matter since MRP is what the end customer should be paying.

                  They cannot change the MRP by adding the difference , lets wait for few days before calling it off.
