In case of GTA, if transporter will not charge Service Tax on transportatoin charges, then receiver of Transportation charges will be liable to pay Service Tax on GTA. There will be an abatement of 75% on GTA, so only 25% on transporation charges will be taxable. For Example, if Transportation Charges will be 15000/- only 3750/- will be taxable and Amount of Service Tax will be 386/- (10.3% of 3750/-). But if manufacturer will be the owner of vehicle and uses his own vehicles for transportation of his own manufacturing goods, Service Tax will not be applicable.
