17 December 2013 As per Notification no. 30/2012, the liability to pay Service tax on Goods Transport Agency services is on the person liable to pay freight if it is a company, firm, AOP, registered factory, society, excise dealer. So in your case, if the person liable for making payment is any of the above, then you don't need to charge service tax on the freight bill raised by you.
