1. Simple condition is that the person who is paying freight will be liable to pay service tax under reverse charge machanism.
2. I dont think there is any role of GTA in this respect. If service receiver is paying service tax then on that value GTA wil lnot be liable to pay service tax.
3. Notification No. 12/2003 is general in nature and does not specify any particular services. it only allowed deduction in resecpt of value of material and goods sold alongwith provision of service. It does not have any relation to GTA service
