23 April 2016 Dear Sir,
Suppose a dealer raise invoice in following manner -

Amount 100000/-
VAT 5% - 5000/-
Total - 105000/-
Transport Charges 2500/-
Grand total - 107500/-

Whether the above mentioned transport charges attract service tax liability ?

23 April 2016 No you don't need to pay service tax on transportation amount charged on bill... It simply reimbursement of expenses... And you not paying freight to the Good transport agency... The seller is required to pay service tax not you...
