Dear Sachin,

What I want to ask is that from 25th Feb'09 the rate of SErvice Tax has been reduced to 10% from 12%. So in case of Goods Transport Agency either consignor or Consignee have to pay the service tax on feright or transport charges bills @ 25% of Service Tax which comes to 3%. So for the month of Feb'09 what will be that rate. And secondly I just want to ask that if we recives the bills of courier charges inclusive of service tax that we can take against excise set off.
