5) if transportor and the consignee don't pay service tax, shall i have to pay service tax at the end?


Kindly answer of my all questions.


19 October 2010 Whereever freight is charged on invoice , VAT will alos be payable on freight amount.

Service tax will be payable by you , when you are making the payment to transporter. So it will be better to calim total amount i.e. transport charges plus service tax from transporter.


Service tax will be 10.3% on 25% value of transport charges.

19 October 2010 The consignee/ consignor responsible for paying the freight is liable to pay the ST. You may ensure that the transporters invoice is for the same amount i.e.15k and pass the saem onto the cusotmer for his ST payment. If he does not pay then it is his problem.

Freight is normally deductible under VAT but not under CST. [ you need to verify this in your local law]

Your invoice appears to be correct. Confimr in your local VAT law that freight is deductible.


19 October 2010 Also you have to charge Service Tax (10.3% )amount on 25% value of frt. in Invoice.
