1. Consignor is a Partnership Firm supplying material to Consignee a P Ltd Co, on ex works basis.

2. Consignor is engaged in arranging transportation of material from GTA on behalf of consignee. Paying freight charges to transporter on behalf of consignee and works as an AGENT.

3. Consignor issuing two invoices one for material price and another as debit note for reimbursement of freight charges

My query is who is liable to pay service tax when cnsignor works as an agent of the consignee and consignor consignee both are specified person as per Service tax rule.
