04 October 2012 1) as a company you have to discharge the liability of service tax after taking abatement of 75%( if the st is charged by transporter, in that case you have not to pay it again)

2) if you are not availing any exemption on excise/service tax, then you can take credit of "inward transportation" only, outward transportation is not covered as input service.
