Is Service Tax payable on detention charges under GTA?


This query is : Open 

(Querist)
29 December 2010 When goods could not loaded or unloaded within time and the vehicle is held back, detention charges may be collected by the GTA. As gross amounnt charged is the basis for taxable value, detention charge may not represent consideration towards any service.

Is the same in relation to taxable service of GTA?
Is there any new notification regarding the exemption on it?

29 December 2010 Yes , taxable like freight charges. Service tax is payable on payment to GTA, no matter whether freight charges or detention charges.
