Dear Ritesh Sir,

In the case of Mr. Vijay Kumar, supplier (consignor) is going to reimburse the transport charges actually paid to the Transporter from his customer (consignee). As far as the GTA is concerned the person who pays the freight has to pay service tax. Being the receiver of the GTA service and the payment of transportation charges made by him to Transporter, the consigner (supplier) has to pay service tax on the said GTA Service. So the service tax liability can not be passed to consignee.

If the supplier is arranging the transportation and the charges thereof paid by him behalf of his customer (consignee), then the liability of service tax will be on consignee. If the case is so the consignment note & the invoice should be reflected the same.
