We are purchasing raw matrial from a supplier who raises CST invoice for raw material and also raises debit note for freight charges (transportation) without charging service tax.
According to the supplier, they are hiring transport agency to transport the material to us and so being a service receiver, service tax being their liability, they are making payment.
But as they are only raising a debit note without service tax or declaration on the debit note that service tax is their liability and they will pay it.
Now as per the above situation, do we also have to pay service tax on the freight charges?
