There is two types of transportation cost
1) Inward Transportation
2) Outward Transportation
The Service tax is payable on both the transportation cost .
Servive tax amount to 25% of the billl value is to be paid .
Like if the bill fo Inward Trs. is RS 20000/- and that of Outward Transpration is RS 50000/-
Total Service tax = Rs 70000*.25*10.3% = 1802.5 is to be paid.
Input for the Inward transportation would be available as the act says Input Services upto the place of Removal i:e of RS 20000*.25*10.3% = 515
Service Tax for the Outward transportation would not be available i:e of RS 50000*.25*10.3% = 1287.5 and the same would be charged to Profit and Loss Account.
