26 February 2014 Why should Factory register to ST. It is the Transport agency who will charge ST on their invoice & will pay to the govt. so the GTA should b registered & not the factory.

But if there is any case where the factory is collecting the ST then only the Factory must register themselves.

04 March 2014 Where freight is paid, inter alia, by a factory reverse charge mechanism is applicable.

Accordingly the service recipient (factory) is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge.

The factory is also required to get itself registered under service tax.

The factory is also required to file service tax return.
