26 May 2017 Hi All

Our Company engaged in Freight Forwarding and Customs Clearance for both Sea and Air

On the Air Freight (on Import) there is no service tax till now. I would like to know what is the % of GST proposed on these

Ocean Freight (on Import) 4.5% Service Tax charged since July 2016 - What is the GST Rate for the same

Other than freight, on Clearance activitiy sofar 14% as Service Tax. What is the new rate of GST

I request any one can guide us in detail about GST for Freight Forwarding and CHA Industry

Regards
Bala

26 May 2017 any notification or circular or any other material can you all provide for the list of services.

Secondly what is the percentage for Ocean Freight is it 5% or 6%

What about the Reimbursement of Expenses on actual basis. So far no service tax levied on that
