Service tax - goods transport agency

623 views 1 replies

Dear Friends,

A no. of my clients are using the services of Goods Transport Agency who are charging Service Tax @ 3.09% (after abatement of 75%). But, under Reverse charge I believe the onus now stands upon my client to pay the service tax directly to the authorities. I require your valuable advice regarding what should my client do regarding the following:

a) for services received during the period 1.7.12 to 31.3.13 for which client has already paid the service tax charged by the GTA.

b) for services received during the period 1.7.12 to 31.3.13 for which client has not been charged service tax by the GTA

c) for services being received since 1.4.13?

Thank you.

If your clients are specified entities, the onus to discharge the Service Tax liability is very well with them. Ask them to get themselves registered with the Deptt. if they haven't already as the SSP exemption is not available under reverse charge.

As for the services for which payment to GTA for serivce tax has been already made, just pray that department doesnt serve a notice asking them to deposit the Service Tax as well
