Sir, When the service provider like M/s GATI Ltd.,M/s Blue dart who are charging service tax on full amount without claiming abatment, whereas some transporter like M/s VRL are charging service tax on 25% of freight claiming 75% as abatement. My question is 1) whether we as registered under excise should pay S.T on balance 75% which they have claimed abatement. (Reverse machinism) 2) Can we take credit of S.T. charged in those bill of M/s VRL. 3) Some transporter are not charging S.T on which i am paying S.T. availing benefit of abatement @ 75%. Note : This is with reference to inward of goods. Kindly clarify. Thanks in advance
