14 June 2013 1)No service tax if consignment note not issued. Simple transport Bill is not ‘consignment note’

2)simple expence entry.

Thanks & regards

15 June 2013 1)Person liable to freight is liable to pay
service tax on GTA if he is body corporate,
factory, registered dealer under Central
excise, society, cooperative society,
partnership firm (registered or not).

2)it does not matter whether you are charging in invoice or not..(if you show transportation in invoice no service tax will appear on bill)

Thanks & regards

15 June 2013 3)as i said in point 1..as per payments
(i)if customer is liable to pay freight..even though you pay freight to service provider also..it is nothing but you have paid on behalf of customer and customer is liable to discharge service tax liability.

(ii)in the same way if company is liable to pay freight as per payment terms company is liable to discharge GTA.

Thanks & regards
