In case of GTA Service, Service Tax is to be paid by Service Receiver and not by service provider. So in your case also, service tax is to be paid by company if it is making payment of freight. Service Tax on GTA is payable @ 10.3% (W.e.f. 24.2.09)and also abatement of 75% is available provided on the condition that GTA has not availed CENVAT Credit on input services and capital goods.
