You have not mentioned the period during which the services has been received. The response is based on current service tax law.
It is assumed that the firm falls under one of the seven specified catagories.
There is no service tax on Railway freight. You have to pay tax on freight for transportation of goods by road only.
An abetment of 75% of freight paid is available. You need to pay tax on 25% of the freight only.
Normally, the person, who is liable to pay the freight is the liable to pay the tax.
Rate of tax is uniform for all services, ie. 12.36%.
