GTA service tax is to be paid by service receipent, here you have invited the troubles for your company by taking services on part of clients, as the private limited companies are entitled to pay service tax for GTA services recd. 

Now u have two opetions in hand, 

1. to pay the service tax on GTA , claim input credit, bill the same to client and charge service tax by taking registration. 

2. pass on the same to buyer by direct endorsing the invoices, and ask buyer to pay direct to transporter. without touch of service tax on transporter part. here the service tax liability goes to ultimate buyer / exporter subject to his personal status. 

 

 

rem once u register for GTA, u have to file two returns, one for services rendered, 2. for services recd
