Freight Forwarder is raising invoice to a client. invoice details are as under:

Transporter charges       : Rs. 35000/-

export handling charges :Rs.    3000/-

ST (on EHC):                              371/-

total:                                   Rs. 38371/-.

He is then raising invoice 42000/- + ST 5880/- = 47880/-. My query is on which amount ST is chargeable. Whether on Rs. 42000/- or 4000/- (42000-38000).
