Service tax-gta(urgent)

Queries 618 views 1 replies

Dear Friends,

Friends,

Will be requiring your help in the following case...........

As per our transportation agreement  we are deducting late delivery charges  from the transporter's bill & in case we are holding them in our premises for more than one day we are also paying them detention charges.....

Now my doubt is that  while calculating service tax on GTA ,sshould we pay service tax on the net amount  i.e after deducting late delivery & adding detention charges  OR service tax need to be paid only on the transportation charges???

If we need to pay service tax on the net amount,can anybody tell me whether the same is as per any act/rule/notification

Hope to get  a reply soon.

Thnx in advance......

Explanation (a) of section 67: "Consideration" includes any amount that is payable for the taxable services provided or to be provided. Hence detention charges charged will be taxable too with transportation charges as it was also paid for the said srvices. As far as late payment charges is concerned you will not get benefit of deduction for the same. for exp if transportation charges is 100 rs late payment fee 10 rs detention charges is 20 rs means you paid 110 rs. you have to pay service tax on 120 rs.
