15 June 2010 Based on the facts as it is stated that it amount to import of services and accordingly you are liable to pay service tax under reverse charge scheme. Your company is registered as specified person receiver of Goods Transport Agency service. You have to register as service receiver with specific service as received and accordingly your company will be liable to pay service tax and if the above service is used as an input service for the manufacture of excisable goods or for the provision of output service, then the tax paid on import of services will form part of the CENVAT
