Mutual fund distributors/agents are required to pay service tax on their earnings wef 01-04-2016. Previously they were under RCM and the principal used to pay service tax on behalf of agents. They have to get registered for Service Tax.

Some agents whose turnover of earnings was above Rs. 10 lacs in last year ( 2015-16 ) when there was RCM, are they now eligible for threshold exemption of Rs.10 lacs in 2016-17?

Respected Members,

My client is a Freight Forwarder and Custom House Agent. They also provide services of transportation of imported goods from Dry Port (ICD) to Importers location or from Exporter's location to Dry Port (ICD) by road. However they themselves are not Goods Transport Agency as neither they have any Commercial Vehicle nor they issue any Consignment note in any form to the consignor/consignee. They simply use the services of other GTA Service providers for transportation of goods. Service Tax on this Input service is duly paid through reverse charge or forward charge as applicable.
I find my clients services in negative list under point no. (p) which is as follows:-
Services by way of Transportation of Goods-
(i) by road except the services of -
(a) A Goods Transport Agency; or
(b) A Courier Agency

Facts are My client is neither GTA nor Courier Agency and they provide Services by way of Transportation of Goods by Road, So they are eligible for this particular entry in the negative list. Hence Client don't charge Service Tax on his Transportation Sale Bills.

My Question to the Experts are whether I am right in this classification or not. If not then please suggest me How these services will be taxed?

Thanks in Advance
