In case of a company the service tax should not be paid to the transporter as the liability to pay is on consignee or consignor. credit should not be taken on the basis of transporters bill as the deptt. will object to it.
Abatement can be claimed any time. ANd in fact service tax should be paid on 25% of the freight amount only.
