Services of 'transport of goods by road' provided by a 'goods transport agency' to the consignor or consignee in an 'organized sector' is a taxable service covered under RCM. Provider has no liability whereas the recipient has to pay 100% ST.
Ps:- For the meaning of 'organized sector', please see Clause IA(ii)(a) to (f) of notification 30/212-ST dated 20.6.2012.
Please note that notification 34/2004-ST has been rescinded by notification 34/2012-ST. Still exemption can be availed under RCM vide notification 25/2012-ST as rightly pointed out by Ganeshbabu Ji
