The Tax incidence of GTA is very clear , the consignee or consignor who pays freight to the transporter has to pay Service Tax . If your transporter is chanrging S.tax in Bill T and collecting from u , he has to pay the same to the govt account. Manufctuer can take credit of inward freight. Hope this is clear.
