15 August 2013 1)Service tax applicable only if it is GTA service..

2)No service tax if consignment note not issued. Simple transport Bill is not ‘consignment note’

16 August 2013 If you are charging delivery/transport charges from your customers separately and not as a part of price, it is correct that it is not a GTA service but it is a service of delivering the goods something like courier service. This type of service is not exempted nor in negative list and therefore taxable. the benefit of 33/2012 shall be available if applicable.
