27 July 2011 Dear Author,

In some exceptional cases, service receiver is liable to pay service tax on amount of services received by him/her. The same is the case with Goods Transport Services, where the person who is making the payment to the transporter is required to calculate and pay service tax on the amount of transport charges paid by him/her. Interestingly, the service tax paid will be available as input credit provided transport services in your business can be treated as input services.

For this, you will have get register as service receiver liable to pay service tax and accordingly show the same in ST-3.
