hi

we are a manufacturing company who takes the services of transport operator to deliver the goods of sale to final customers.

we are collecting the freight amount from customer by issuing them debit note apart from sales invoice.transporter is issuing us his invoice and we are finally paying the transporter.

now as per service tax act , who is liable to pay service tax amount.?

till now we were paying the service tax amount, now one of our customers wants that let him pay the freight amount to us BUT service tax amount he wants to pay

since the final liability is devolved on us, can we allow our customer to finally pay service tax of GTA?
