Applicability of service tax


This query is : Resolved 

30 January 2013 A company is a dealer of sanitary ware products at the time of supplying goods to the buyer company itself is bearing transportation cost and all the goods are supplied through roads only, therefore in this regard I want to know whether Service Tax is applicable on the transportation charges while supplying goods to the buyer.

If Service Tax is applicable then under which category of such service will be leviable.

30 January 2013 In case of the Goods Tranaport Agency service, the service tax is payable on the basis of the reverse charge mechanism in case the assessee is a Company.

That means in case of a Company assessee, it has to take the Service Tax Registration under the category of Transportation of Goods by Road and assess the service tax itself, deposit the same and comply the half yearly return filing provisions.

Remember, you are not required to pay the Service Tax to the Transporter and the service tax is to be paid by 5th of the folloiwng month in which the Transportation charges is paid by you to the transporter.
