12 September 2012 In respect of GTA services service tax in your case would still be payable by you, as per the new rules on 25% of the freight amount. Cenvat credit on transportation services can be availed for inward transportation of inputs/capital goods and outward transportation upto the place of removal.
Reverse charge is applicable also for legal services received from an individual or a firm of advocates, in which case you will have to discharge 100% of the service tax.
