16 June 2013 Service tax on payments to GTA:-

1)Tax when consignment note issued. Simple transport of goods service (without issue of consignment note) is not a GTA service.

2)Person liable to freight is liable to pay service tax on GTA if he is body corporate, factory, registered dealer under Central excise, society, cooperative society, partnership firm (registered or not).

3)Tax on 25% if GTA does not avail Cenvat Credit – Hence service receiver should get certificate from him that he has not availed Cenvat credit.

4)Otherwise tax on 100% value.

5)GTA is liable to pay service tax if (a) person liable to pay freight is individual or HUF (b) Person liable to ay freight is outside taxable territory (like J&K, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangla Desh, Pakistan etc.).

Thanks & regards
