Dayal (Expert)
19 June 2012 If the transporter is providing service of transport of goods by road to an Individual/HUF then he has to charge service tax. In this consignor is not liable to pay service tax under reverse mechanism.

20 June 2012 Where the consignor or consignee of goods is "specified persons" the person liable for paying service tax shall be any person who pays or is liable to pay freight either himself or thro his agent for the transportation of such goods by road in a goods carriage.
Specified persons
