I am working in a Ltd. Company and we are paying service tax on GTA. Sometimes some Logistics Companies (like AFL etc) & other transporters are charging service tax in their bill. Please advise can I leave these transactions while calculating Service Tax on GTA or not.

If the transporter charging service tax in the invoice iteself , you no need to calculate in your GTA service tax calculation, the particular transporter will take care.

If the transporter is charging service tax in the invoice itself, then you are not required to pay GTA for such invoices. It can be that such transporters are registered as courier services in the service tax, so they charge and pay service tax themselves
