Service tax

No it will not apply...

Yes, Service tax is applicable on this process but you adopt the driver as his employee then Service Tax is not applicable on such service. Hope you got if not plz forward the same.

Sorry for interpreting...

Hi Hardik,

Service tax is not applicable in this case. Cost of transportation is includable in the assessable value as per Central Excise Act 1944. You have to pay excise duty on the cost of tiles + Cost of transportation. It is an ancillary service provided in the due course of manufacturing, not a stand alone service thus no service tax.

As per Section 66D(p) of Finance Act Services by way of transportaion of goods by road except the services of-

A) GTA

B) Courier agency are specified under negative list

Thus the service by way of transportaion are not liable to service tax but excise duty.

Dear Gajera,

If transportation charges are encludes in the value of tiles then no need to pay service tax of service recepient.  

If value charged from the buyers includes the transportion charges (which obviously be the case), the service tax is not payable.
