We are a manufacturer and charge excise duty on all sales. Sometimes our prices are FOR customer and we do not charge transportation in the invoice or separately. It is included in the basic price itself.
Payment made to Transporter against that delivery is booked as cost.
In such a case do we have to pay service tax on the said transportation charges and can we take credit of it.
Thanks

In such a case you have to pay service tax on the said transportation. No cenvat credit can be taken on it being transportation beyond excise warehouse.
