Respected Members We are a Custom House Agent. we provide transport services to our customer by hiring vehicle form transporters. In the service tax regime we were registered as GTA . we need to know do we still fall in the category of GTA. Can we issue a consignment note to the customer ? by doing so are we taking the liability of the goods on our selves.
Kindly advise on how we should we raise the invoice of Transportation charges to our customer. Please advice ,

Dear Sir Please be informed it is not a reimbursement . we have a mark up/Profit element when we raise the invoice to the customer. than to we do not have to charge GST . Kindly advice. In future the authorities may ask why GST is not paid on Transportation charges though it is a substantial part of our business. Kindly advise.
