Transport of Petroelum is a taxable service provided by the Goods agency...

Carriage of petroleum goods are chargeable under GTA and the Service Receiver (Oil Companies) need to pay ST on the GTA. At present it attracts tax @ 12.36% after allowing abatement of 75% i.e. Oil companies need to pay tax on Rs. 25 @ 12.36% (If bill is Rs. 100-abatement of Rs. 75).

Dear All,

Transport of petroluem products by tank truck, as it falls within the perview of GTA services and is therefore taxable.

Rates of freight fixed by OMCs are based on round the trip( incl. return trip of tank truck with empty). Tender/contract entered with GTA by OMC's, is silent of above aspects. While returning with empty truck, there is no carrying of good. will it form part of in relation to service  of GTA and accordingly needs to pay Service tax on round the trip basis.

Is it need of paying service tax on return with empty tank truck for other loads.. if it so, whether retrun trip will elegible for cenvat .....

Thanking you, in advance...
