i have query related to GTA.

1) Does a registered partnership firm availing services from a GTA must register & pay service tax if the consignment is beyond limit of 750/1500 on consignment?

2) If the invoice raised doesn't have service tax details, how to compute ST on the gross amount? can such ST portion be deducted and be paid net to the GTA? (Eg: Invoice 15000 and say ST is 1000 shud i pay to GTA 14000 or 15000 and 1000 firm's expense?)

3) can abatement of 75% & cenvat credit be availed by the partnership firm?
