13 February 2015 During the year co A has sold goods to Co B. Co A incurres some transportation expnse. Co A also raised debit note for the transportation expense on lumpsum basis.

Now my question is whether service tax is applicable or not.

13 February 2015 As per Rule 2(1)(d)of Finance Act, 1994, Service tax on freight should be paid by the person who will pay the freight. In this case Co A pays the transportation exp, he will be liable to pay service tax under reverse charge.
