24 January 2010 My company is Logistics and Supply chain solution provider and registered as Clearing and forwarding agent in Service tax.
It has entered into agreement with FMCG companies for transportation of goods from its depot to other depot, wholesaler and other dealer at a rate fixed per destination.

My company does not have the fleet vehilce) of its own and hire the market trucks to transport the goods.

My query is:
Is my company liable for Service tax under GST?

24 January 2010 if you are Company and you are paying freight to the transporter then you are liabale for service tax,

Similarly you can mention your bill, " service tax is payable by Consignor or Consignee"
in such case you are not liable
