You have to pay full amount of invoice to transport service provider. In addition you have to pay service tax on 25 % of total invoice amount @ 12 % + edu cess. So, you have to pay that much service tax amount directly to the department and you can claim input credit on it.

You can take abatement and pay the service tax.  This service tax is eligible for Cenvat credit in the following circumstances.
1) If the transport is engaged for inward transportation i.e.,  for bringing the materials etc. into your factory.
2) If the transport is engaged for outward transportation i.e., for clearance of your finished goods from your factory but subject to the following conditions:
   a)  If your CE invoice depicts separately the price and ED on price; freight and
        ED on freight separtely and paid ED; and
   b) Even if your CE invoice shows that price is inclusive of all including freight 
       and paid ED accordingly  

That means, such cenvat credit is not avaialbe for factory gate sales.  Delivery shoudl be at customers' place.

What is the position of taxability of Service tax in the case of a partnership firm manufacturing Jewellery registers its firm name under trade mark and further markets its jewellery under the registered brand logo/trade name.

Vat & Service tax is payable on the bill raised by the Caterer on food bill. However, Vat shall be payable on the value of food provided & Stax on value of Service . Service shall be entitled to avail abatement benefit.
