Incase Transport of goods by road, Person paying freight to GTA was liable to pay service tax under reverse charge( Company is specified person )-Please issue LR for this purpose.
If you transport goods only for companies , then you are not liable for service tax, goods transport agencies which are not liable to pay service tax are not required to be registered under service tax rules.
However you may indicate ‘ Service Tax Registration Number – Not Applicable’. If you want to be on safe side, you may register and file Nil returns, though not legally required .
