service tax on carriage inward

what is carriage inward if it transportation & assessee is any six under the service tax act then it is liable to service tax act & 75% abatement is available to the assessee & service tax is paid on balance amount no cenvat credit is availabe to you

Dear Sir.

Service Tax on Transport of goods is payable by the Service availer and not the service provider. As per Noti.No.1/2006-ST dt.01/03/06, abatement to the extent of 75 % of Gross amount  is admissible. Meaning thereby that on 25 % of the amount charged by the Transporter, Service Tax @ 12.36 % is payable.

Manufacturer/Taxable Serrvice Provider can avauil credit of Service Tax paid on  inward freight. CENVAT credit is not available on outward freight.

Respected Sir/Madam,

 In Service Tax concept what is meaning of  "abatement" and also what is exemption ?

Please reply

hello everybody,

Please clarify me about service tax applicable in carriage inward.

Is an assesse is liable to pay 100% of service tax or is there any abatment as in the case of carriage outward.

The Answer being :

The assessee has to pay service tax at 12.36% on 25% of the total value of Freight Inwards. Here there is an assumption that the exemption with regard to small service providers is available but it is not so. Even if the freight is 100 Rs, also the service provider has to remit the service tax on value after abatement that is Rs 25 @ 12.36%. If ther service provider is not liable to under service tax is also to register with the service tax authorities. 

In a layman's language there are three types of benefits available underservice tax. 1. Non-Taxability - means the service is not taxable at all....i.e. it doesnt fall under the perview of service Tax. 2. Exemption - The service fall under the perview of Service Tax but exempted from Taxability either partly or fully (conditiobally or unconditionally) 3. Abatement : the service is Taxable but rebate can be claimed  from the Tax upon fulfillment of certain conditions. 

Sir,

Please advise me whether their can be any tax planning in respect of service tax charged on freight inward. Its a sole poprietorship firm. Whether it can be saved in any other form of organisation.

Please provide me the answer on my email address i.e munishagg_srcc @ rediffmail.com . I shall be highly obliged.

Dear Sir/Madam

Is there any one who will reply to my question:

Actually i want to know that we are registered with service Tax Department as:

Cargo Handling Agent

& Transportation of Goods By Road

And we are providing Transportation Services By Air , Raod & Train to Our Clients  they are mainly Exporters only.

And due to which i am not charging them service Tax

But if we give them service for their Domestic Shipments we are charging them service Tax 

@ 12.36% on All Expenses except expenses for which receipts attached.

Am i right do go with this practice or not.

So do clear the same

Thanks
