1) service Tax is to be paid by yourself directly to department by obtaining registration as "GTA service Receipent" ,

2) regarding TDS you have to deduct TDS / ask the transporter if they provide PAN copy, then no TDS

there is no such exemption for agri products in service tax.

Service tax liability remains on service receipent, not on provider in this case, so service tax regn of provider is irrelevent,

get registered and start paying from current period.

for arrears let the department fix audit for your company, and when audit will raise demand, you would have to pay by that time only against audit demand note.
