27 June 2013 1)Service by way of transportation of goods by road is in negative list – except services of Goods Transport Agency (GTA) and Courier Agency

2)So you may pay for service tax on GTA only.

3)If you are responsible for payment of freight as per payment terms of transactions as per GTA rules you are considered as service receiver and you have to pay service tax as per reverse charge ..and on payment you can avail credit on services..

Service tax paid on GTA service for inward transport of inputs is eligible for Cenvat credit –

Kerala Minerals v. CCE (2010) 25 STT 80 (CESTAT SMB).

Thanks & regards
