Hi All,

XYZ is properietorship entity (Clearing House Agents), take services of GTA for delivering goods to ABC Pvt. Ltd.

Now ABC is claiming XYZ to show the Service tax deposited and ST returns for Transport services as XYZ is working in the capacity of agent for ABC

The query is whether ABC is correct in such demand,whether the liabilty related to service tax on GTA falls on XYZ 

 

Thanks and Regards
