If you are one of the specified catagory liable to pay service tax as receiver of service in relation to GTA, then it is your liability to discharge the tax, whether charged by the GTA or not.
Credit admisible, provided the transport service availed by you is an input service in terms of Rule 2(I) of CCR.
If you deposit the TDS before the due date of filing of return of income, the expenses will be allowed in 2008-09, else it will be allowed in the year of payment.
