Gta : product : gypsum

As per rule 2(1)(d) of Service Tax Rules, 1994, for GTA service tax would be paid by the person who pays or is liable to pay the freight. However, if the freight is paid (either himself or through his agent) by an individual/proprietorship firm or HUF then the service tax thereon shall be paid by the GTA itself.

	Hi all, My client is transporting Gypsum (used to manufacture fertiliser) from one state to another. He is transporting/dealing only one product (ie, Gypsum). Can any one please tell me the Service tax implication of such activity.  Thanks in advance.

NO ISSUES. SERVICE PROVIDER NEED to pay ST. give them certificate so that they will deduct on abated value

Mr Ajish,

If your client is as Individual/HUF, then GTA will pay the service tax on that.

But if your cleint is other than Individual OR Individual/Proprietorship firm but registered under Factory Act/ Central Excise Act, then it will be liable to pay service tax under RCM
