10 November 2009We are operating at different depots (different companies are appointed to act as depots). The freight from depot to customer is paid by the depots and reimbursed by the company. Whether service tax need to be deducted?

Dear Sir
As you told that you are operating with different depots, so ultimately expenses will be booked at your end. So you have libale to pay service tax . So from my point of view it is appropriate that you should communicate to depot that bill should be in the name of your company, then you can book the expenses at your end & pay the service tax accordingly.
Hope you query is resolved.

I understand that from Depot to Depot -Stock Transfer i.e Secondary Frieght Service Tax is applicable
But for Territary Freight i.e From Depot To dealer Service tax is not applicable can you just clarify on this if i am wrong
