04 June 2011 I have a question about service tax.
If a transporter who is doing a business of Transport & Freight but he is giving service to party from take a service from a service provider.

In that case he is only a service provider.

The mediator has service tax number.

If the transporter who has provided the services to the other transporter (not having service tax number), then any liability for service tax. If yes then whose liability ? service provider or receiver ??

07 June 2011 In case GTA Service is provided by the specified persons then such consignor or consignee should pay the service tax otherwise Goods transport Agency should offer the service tax. In the facts given the service tax should be offered by the GTA whether he is agent or not. The service receiver does not include GTA. Therefore in the above case either of GTA or his agent should offer the service tax if the consignor or consignee is not specified persons.
