Our client is a GTA. It is hired by parties in India to transport goods from place of removal to consignee's address in Nepal. The GTA gets payment directly from consignee in Nepal though bank transfer.
As per notification 30/2012 the person liable to pay service tax is person paying the freight. But again if the person is located outside the taxable territory than liability to pay tax is on service provider.
My question is, if the GTA gets payment directly from Nepal, is it liable to pay Service Tax?
