Question 1 Do service tax have to be paid for transportation expenses that a pvt ltd is incurring in procuring material and sending finished product to customers. If yes how much percent of the total assessable value will be considered for service tax as per reverse charge methord applicable from 01.07.2012.
Question 2. What to do a)if the transport provider included service tax b)if the transporter didn't include service tax.
1.If you are being issued Consingment note by Agency,then pay 12.36% on 25% of freight on monthly basis.
Que2
1. If as per Que 1 you are liable to pay service tax, then it becomes your duty to pay the same directly to govt. It is better to argue with the Transporter & tell them not to charge service Tax in your bill. Otherwise, you will have to pay service tax twice.
