I have some queries regarding service tax.
I am a proprietor of a Factory and i brought all my raw material from outside state by Indian Railway wagons & trasnportar's truck.
Now the query are as follows :
1) Raw material brought by Indian Railway wagons upto destination Railway station.
Mr. A works for the proprietor to load Pulses (Raw Material) in lorry from railway wagon. The proprietor pays the Lorry freight to Mr. A and MR A pays the freight to truck owner. No consignment note is made. Whether this service comes under service tax? if so under what head? Mr.A is an individual. If lorry freight paid by Mr. A - what is the effect? Mr. A is authoried by the railway department for clearing work at railway good shed.
2) Sometimes proprietor brought Raw material (Pulses) in another station in the state by Indian Railway goods wagons and His staff loads the same in local trucks provided by the truck association the goods yard. Only challan is issued after loading. suppose freight @ Rs.60 per quintal then total freight = 200 qtls X 60 = Rs.12000/- Out of which Rs.6000 is paid by my staff (taken from trashipment broker ) and the balance to pay.
The transhipment broker issues his bill (Truck Advance, Labour, Commision etc,) So I will be liable to pay service tax or not.if I am liable then what will be rate of Service Tax. Only challan is issued for the delivery.
3) In road transporation the proprietor brought Raw Material from outside state. In which bilty or COnsignment note issued and no service tax is paid by consignor or transportar. I am liable to pay the service tax or not. What will be the rate of service tax. In case service tax is paid by the consignor then what will be the treatment.
Please let me know the solution of above mentioned queries.
Kindly reply at an earliest. Thanks Sunil Cell :94350-51992

The query revolves on who is provding the service whether the good transport owner/ operator or the AGENT. If agent then GTA liability falls oon you since you are a factory under factories act.

Sir, For clarification I am sending the following.
1) Mr.A is an individual and he takes Trucks from the Truck Association and received freight on behalf of Truck owners.Mr. A is authoried by the railway department for clearing work at railway good shed. If lorry freight paid by Mr. A - what is the effect?
2) Sometimes proprietor brought Raw material (Pulses) in another station in the state by Indian Railway goods wagons and His staff loads the same in local trucks provided by the truck association the goods yard. Only challan is issued after loading. suppose freight @ Rs.60 per quintal then total freight = 200 qtls X 60 = Rs.12000/- Out of which Rs.6000 is paid by my staff (taken from trashipment broker ) and the balance is paid by me.
The transhipment broker issues his bill (Truck Advance paid, Labour, Commision etc,) So I will be liable to pay service tax or not.if I am liable then what will be rate of Service Tax. Only challan is issued for the delivery and freight is paid on the basis of challan.
3) In road transporation the proprietor brought Raw Material from outside state. In which bilty or COnsignment note issued and service tax is paid by consignor and charged in bilty. I am liable to pay the service tax or not. What will be the rate of service tax. As service tax is paid by the consignor on our behalf then I will liable for service tax.

Sir I am very much confused in Service Tax and I have few queries regarding the service Tax.
1) What is the minimium amount in which Road Freight of a truck is exempted. I am a proprietor of a factory registered under factory. My firm is proprietorship firm.
The trucks belongs to an individual who is not registered in Service Tax. There is a railway authorized agent who supplies Trucks to me for transhipment of goods from wagons to my factory godown. I pays the freight to the agent and The agent distributes the freight to the trucks owner.
In the above mentioned situation please know me the rules of service tax in freight.
Secondly I am loading the goods in the truck from wagons in the Individual truck owners who is not registered. I issues a self challan and the freight is around Rs.1600/- . No Consignment note is made. I am liable to pay service tax or not. If yes what will be the rate of Service Tax.
