Service tax on transportation charges

Sir,

We are a factory registered under Indian Companies Act, 1956 and governed by Indian Factories Act also. We are now paying transportation charges. 1) Are we liable to pay Service Tax? 2) If yes, Can we avail Service Tax credit on Excise?

Please refer the above link for all details depending on what goods are you transporting and through what medium.
You can avail the credit if it is used for inward transportation and transportation upto the place of removal.

Yes you are liable to pay service tax on 25% of the Total Transportation cost. ie Transport Charges x 25% x  12.36%. 

 

Well technically yes, you can take the cenvat credit of such Service tax paid, provided its forming a part of your input services & you're not availing any exemption or abatement while discharging duty. 

yes/ agri with rohan
