Service tax applicability on hamali charges

Dear all,

Our company is making payment of hamali charges to labours for loading/unloading of goods. Now we are recovering this amount with some profit margin from our clients. Whether service tax is applicable to this amount?

if your conpany is registered under Service tax or have exceeded providing taxable services 10 lacs then yes 

you collect service tax and pay the same to department in above situation.

Thank you sir,

Our company is registered. But suppose if we are including hamali charges alongwith the invoice of freight and service tax is not payable by us on freight. now, whether service tax is to be charged additionally for the hamali charges in the invoice or service tax not to be charged since it is a part of freight and thus not leviable on us.

even in case of freight you have to pay service tax under GTA and charge the same to your client, 

to get saved you have to issue debit notes for such transactions in place of invoice, 

Note: debit note must include the original Freight and hamali bill and not your profit
