19 March 2014 1. Yes service tax is applicable on hiring of motor vehicle designed to carry passengers.

Further reverse charge is applicable if the service is provided BY an individual, HUF or firm TO a company (N/N 30/2012)

2. N/N 26/2012 provides ABATEMENT from service tax. Abatement means that the specified percentage is EXEMPT from service tax.

N/N 30/2012 provides for REVERSE CHARGE. Under reverse charge the service RECIPIENT is liable for compliance with service tax provisions.

You have to follow BOTH the notifications.

19 March 2014 1. You have to pay service tax on 40% of the total invoice value.

The service tax will be calculated as under:

Amount*40%*12.36%

2. In respect of GTA, abatement of 75% is available.

SO you have to pay tax on 25% of the invoice amount.

The service tax will be calculated as under:

Amount*25%*12.36%
