29 April 2008 Hi Bhupender
If the freight agency is in Kochi and the receiving company is in JK. Then there is no liability of service tax.
According to the Service Tax Law, in the case of freight there is a reverse charge i.e the person receiving the service has to pay service tax. hence there is no liability on the transporter in Kochi

So far as the company in JK is concerned, Service tax in not applicable in jK, hence there is no authority in JK to receive the service tax amount, so there in no need to pay service tax by the company in JK also

In case of any other clarification, feel free to write me
