13 October 2007 IS SERVICE TAX APPLICABLE ON THE PROFIT MARGIN EARNED BY SELLING THE OCEAN FREIGHT ???

If your service is covered in the notifications, then the gross amount of the service provided is liable for service tax. There is no question of segregating cost and profit elements.

Please refer Ocean freight is chargeable to service tax from the notifications.

16 October 2007 Every element of income be it service charge or profit will be subject to levy of service tax if the service is a notified serivce, if you could please elobrate the nature of transaction it would help in addressing your query. I understand that Ocean freight are fixed per TONNE or per CBM or per TEU basis, commonly known as Basic Ocean Freight.
