Non-gta transport of goods

Dear Members

 

Following are the cases where the seller is himself is transporting goods to buyer without engaging services of any GTA.

 

GTA is any person who issues consignment note.

 

Consignment note is basically between the consignor and transporter reagarding teh goods being trasnported.

 

if the seller has his own trucks, then i feel he is not a GTA because he is not issuing any consignment note. Who will he issue to ? Cant issue to himself !

 

Please see the questions and my replies to it and suggest your views if i am wrong.

No GTA involved, hence covered under Negative List. No service tax payable by anyone.
