24 January 2013 As you are paying the freight you have to pay service tax on transportation charges as per the reverse charge mechanism. Even if you are paying VAT on the same you have to pay Service tax on transportation cost.
The above rule is applicable only if you are making direct payment to GTA. If you are making payment of transportation cost to Creditor against material purchase then you would not be liable to pay service tax.
