Ya u r right. I m sorry, The 75% abadment on service tax rate [10%]condition is if the transporter is not Registred with central excise & does not taken facility of cenvat credit. now in this case you pay the service tax @ 2.5% on the freight amount.
in case the transporter is taking credit facility of cenvat you will pay the service tax @ 10%
in both case you will refund the amount of service tax & adjust this amount agst cenvat duty payable.
