Evalute the following to know your service tax liability on GTA

Service tax is to be paid by the consignor or consignee, even if the freight is paid by third party, you do not get absolved.

The transporter cannot charge you service tax, even if you agree to pay, your liability to pay is still open.

Check the consignment note, if you are appearing as a consignee, then you still have to pay
