The GTA ( booking agents ) who normally issue a consignment ntoe are liable under service tax. However if their services are used by specified person ( companies/ corporations/. registered partnerships etc)  then the consignee / consignor who is reponsible ( this is important) has to pay the ST on 25 % of the value.

If you are only paying on behalf of the other then you can provide the bills in his name to him and get the reimbursment separately. The cusomter then would pay the ST.

If you are repsonsible for paying the freight then you can pay the ST and charge the entire cost as aline item.
