Agreed with ankur,

Both notifications are applicable, the service receiver has to pay 25% on 12.36% of the freight amount(ie 12.36*25%=3.09%)

Dear Dineshsingh

RCM are two types one has 100% and other Partialcredit. As your requirement belongs to GTA then both RCM rule can be applicable. There have various rule but you you have know the below two things for Goods Transport Service.

1. Service tax liability arise when consignment note is issued.

2. Tax on 25% (abated value), if GTA does not avail Cenvat Credit, otherwise tax on 100% value.

So, as e.g. For 100% RCM=(Actual Freight value x 12.36%).

With abated value= (Actual Freight Value -75% abatement)

= on 25% freight value x 12.36%.

or direct 3.09% without abated value on actual freight.

Hope you understood.

Go Ahead.......

Yes service receiver can claim cenvat credit of 25%service tax paid and gta cannot avail any cenvat credit since it does not pay any service tax.

Under RCM, service receiver has to pay service tax on GTA at 25% value. i.e. 3.09%

Credit will be available if GTA service obtained for input service (purchase of material). if GTA service obtained output service then credit will not be available.

The person liable to pay freight to GTA is liable to pay tax at the effective rate of 3.09% after availing abatement of 75%. If the GTA service is eligible as 'input service' then Cenvat Credit can be claimed and utilized against excise duty or output service tax.

W.e.f. 11-07-2014, the service recipient of GTA service is not required to proof that the service provider (GTA) has availed cenvat credit or not as a condition for taking abatement of 75%. Prior to that, service receiver can take declaration to such effect from the GTA. Normally, it should had been printed/stamed on the consignment note itself.
