Our company buying yarn from a manufacturer and sale the same to domestic market as well as exports. we are paying lorry freight on goods purchased and we are responsible to pay service tax on such freight. and at the same time we are paying service taxes on commission on consignment sales( covering under clearing and forwarding agents). Now my question is whether we can take credit on service taxes which we paid on commission on consignment sales against our liability of service tax on GTA? whether there is any impact on notification 08/2006-19.04.2006 - CE(NT)? kindly clarify.

No, you can not set off GTA liability against Cenvat credit of any other service. GTA liability shall be paid by you and afterthat it will be eligible for Cenvat credit.
