01 December 2011 If you are using your own vehicle no service tax has to be paid.
If you are receiving GTA service from a transporter for inward or out trnasporatation of your form or business and your total turnover during a financial year for freight exceeds Rs. 10 lacs, apply for Service Tax registration and pay service tax .
