Sometimes a transporter provide ancillary service like handling. ALso if truck gets delay then they charge detention charges as well. Transporter issue one invoice consisting all these charges including transportation charges. Do we have to pay service tax only on transportation. How is the treatment of handling and detention charges in service tax.

service tax is applicable on GROSS amount charged in bill / paid to transporter, as the ancillary services are also related to the GTA.
