18 August 2008 Service tax will be charged on the gross amount charged by the transporter whether it includes octroi etc. Because the whole amount paid to the transporter is on account of Service of Transportation of goods from one place to other. therefore we will have to pay the service tax on the whole amount paid to transporters without breaking it into parts. However, abatement of 75% can be availed.
