12 May 2011 Hello,

The GTA service refers to Goods Transport Agency Service u/s 65(105)(zzp). The Service tax on GTA operates on reverse charge basis where either the consignor or consignee has to pay the service tax on behalf of transporter. The service tax is payable on 25% of bill value after abatement.
In the example given in query service tax liability would be 10.3% of Rs.750 (25% of 3000) which is equal to 77.25 payable by consignor or consignee. To know whether consignor or consignee to pay, refer the LR copy of the transporter where it is mandatory to indicate the person who is liable for service tax.
Hope this clarifies.
