13 November 2011 Service tax is not applicable on three wheelers, ie. Tempo.

Freight paid to indivisual truck/lorry owners does not attract Service tax.(Ref. Finance Minister's Budget Speech while presenting Finance Bill (No. 2), 2004.

It is only when, transportation service is rendered by a Goods Transport Agent, the service becomes taxable.

The transportation within the same city is not relevant.
