19 December 2009 It seems you have misguided by the exemption provided under Notification No. 18/2009-ST. This notification provides exemption to the exporters from service tax on GTA service if GTA service is used for transportation of export goods from the place of removal to the port of export. In this notification the exemption has been provided by way of refund mechanism while outright exemption has been provided in the Notification No. 17/2009-ST.

19 December 2009 I am confuse about the reply as there is no refund mechanism in notification 18. It is pure exemption from service tax liability on GTA & Agency commission. My query is whether we can avail exemption for Inward transportation that is from supplier to our factory

Thanks & Regards
