You may wish to go for Centralised registration under Service tax. You can avail input service tax credit from the date of service tax registration. This credit could be used to set off the output service tax payable on letting of immovable property (lease rentals). As per Service tax laws, being a corporate entity if you pay frieght to goods transport operators then you would be required to pay Service tax on therir behalf. You can use your input service credit for payment of Service tax on GTA. Alternatively you could also pay the same by cash thro TR-6 challans which would involve cash flow.
