The expenses you incur for transport of goods to your customers (diesel, toll, etc.) can be treated as direct expenses under the heading carriage outward.

for freight charges, yu account in Carriage outward , based on the Lorry receipt and don`t include diesel cost, and other expenses in carriage outward, as yu have to pay the Service tax only on actual freight charges, providing yu are using outside trucks. Suppose, if you are using own trucks for transporting your own materials, use Account Head LOgistics exp, where it will not questioned by the Service Tax department , while scrutinising the Balance sheet and P & L.
