11 January 2014dear all,
i have a query of reverse charge applicibilty.
we know reverse charge on freight is applicable on all types of firm except sole proprietorship firm.
but i have read if the firm is registered in excise departmant then even sole proprietor has to pay on reverse charge on frieght.
but if the sole propeitorship firm is a trading firm(only buying and selling of chemicals) and not a manufacturer then is reverse charge on freight appplicable???
