We are transport agent and transport the goods by road on behalf of consignor or consignee. our turnover is more than 20 lacs.

now i want to know we are liable to register for service tax no. and charge service tax on our billing?

or

is it exempt 29/2008-Service Tax, dated 26.06.2008.

As per notification 36/2004 dated 31/12/2004, the service receiver is liable to pay service tax in case of transport of goods by road in a goods carriage where the CONSIGNOR or CONSIGNEE is a company registered under The Companies Act,1956. If both of the consignor and consignee are companies who is liable to pay service tax.

Value of goods sold by a service provider , while providing service[if separately disclosed and no credit is taken in resct of that goods], is exempted
What is the logic behind this exemption ...........

freight charges including service tax are paid by the consignor i.e. supplier of the material and same is charged in the bill for the purchase of the material. whether buyer can avail cenvet credit of service tax paid by the supplier.
