Dear Sir, We have ST registration from April 2011 under GTA and have to pay tax on service received . but we have not paid ST on delivery exp. from that period. Now we want to pay tax. Will you please clarify us that what will be the interest and penalty on ST. Can we avail 75 % abatement on delivery exp.
Further, we have also made Delivery exp. on goods transferred from one Godown to another Godown. Is there any ST liability arise on Del. Exp.

If you have paid the freight to transporter then liability will arise to pay service tax. You have not paid the tax from 2011 then pay the duty along with interest. Penalty cannot impose if you have paid the duty before the issue notice.
