Regarding **service tax on transportation of fly ash**, here’s the key point:
* **Transportation of goods by road (Goods Transport Agency - GTA service)** is taxable under service tax law.
* **Fly ash**, even if being disposed of (not sold), is still considered "goods" for transportation purposes.
* So, **if you pay a transporter to move fly ash, service tax on GTA services is applicable** on the freight charges.
* The fact that fly ash is disposed (sent to low-level lands) **does not exempt transportation service from service tax**.
* The transporter (GTA) should charge service tax on the freight bill. If the transporter is unregistered, then the recipient of the service may be liable to pay under reverse charge.
**Summary:**
| Scenario | Service Tax Applicability |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Transportation of fly ash (sold to cement plant) | Taxable under GTA service |
| Transportation of fly ash (disposed to lands) | Also taxable under GTA service, no exemption due to disposal |
---
**If your company is the principal transporter and not paying service tax, that is not correct** as per the law.
