Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how service tax on freight charges applies to wholesale businesses. If freight is included in your supplier's invoice, you generally don't pay GST on it separately, and it becomes part of your purchase cost. However, if the transporter invoices you directly for freight, you may need to pay GST under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) and can then claim it as input tax credit (ITC).

If freight charges are included in the purchase invoice of supplier and you are paying total amount to your supplier than, no GST is required to be paid on reverse charge. This freight charge will be added to the cost of purchase of the material.

If transporter is raising separate invoice on you and you are paying transport charges directly to transporter, then GST to be paid under RCM and you will be able to take ITC (credit) of GST paid  against it.
