20 April 2011 we paid freight on the outward to a person with the more than one truck. In a day we made 4 invoices to different parties with one truck or more. Then what will be the treatment of service tax in this regard.

03 May 2011 Dear Mr. Reddy,

I just want to clear that the word Consignment here means the Consignment related to one Party, i mean that whether we have to calculate the freight amount of each Party's Consignment Individually.

Please clarify.
