Consignor is not absolved of his responsibility even if GTA collects and pays Svc Tax to the Govt. Study the following extracted from an Article
"The provisions relating to GTA allow a GTA to pay the service tax only if the recipient of the service is an individual or unregistered firm as per Rule 2(i)(d)(v). This means that if GTA were to collect the service tax from others, he would be doing so without authority of law. Section 73 A (2) sets out that any person who has collected any amount, which is not required to be collected as representing service tax, would be required to pay the amount to the credit of the central government.
The primary liability on the recipient however would not be discharged where the GTA pays the service tax so collected. The specified persons are required to pay the service tax on their own account. ( see question 1)
For the past the receiver may pay with the interest and the GTA could go for a refund".
