13 April 2013 We are taking services of Goods transport agency and paying freight. So as per law the person who is paying freight is liable to pay service tax. We have not paid service tax from April 12 onwards. New laws are there from July 12 onwards. Please tell me what is the different procedure for 1st Q and 2nd Q. for paying ST and its return and how to identify?? Is it ok if I am verifying that if GTA has taken ST on their bill which we are paying ,then only we are liable. Please tell me how to identify??

13 April 2013 in the case of goods transport agency, the service tax has to be paid on reverse charge mechanism by the service receipent., this provision is not just from july, it is even before from july., you will be liable to pay the service tax on reverse charge mechanism on the frieght you paid.,
