I have a query on GTA reverse mechanism on service tax pl help me
If I send and transport the goods to my local and outsider client through courier service like fedex etc. then i will be pay the service tax @ 14% as (100%) because courier agency charge the service tax from me on their bill and i have to pay. AND courier agency can also give me a consignment note.
But I send the transport the good to my local and outsider client through Good transport agency then i will be pay service tax as a service receiver 30% of 14% under reverse mechanism
So i send and transport the goods through GTA then i CAN save service tax 70%
is it possible to save tax ???
Any different registration for GTA and courier agency ?? how is define a particular agency is GTA and courier agency ??
There is a thin line difference between these two services. That difference is of ‘Consignment note’. The essential elements of Consignment note’s are –
• Name of Consignor & Consignee • Registration number of Goods Carriage in which goods is transported • Details of Goods Transported • Details of place of origin and destination
The Courier agency issues the note which duly contains all the aforesaid features except the ‘Registration number of Goods Carriage in which goods is transported’. If such detail is also incorporated then it will fall under ‘Transport of goods by road’ Service alia GTA Service.
If it is feasible to transport the goods through GTA then you can save the service tax provided you are paying to GTA, if your counterpart is directly paying to GTA then you need not to pay service tax.
If you are liable to pay service tax under GTA then you also need to amend the registration certificate as well.
