Another way to interpret this would be to check on the definition of "road"....road has to be a public road , available to people at large...hence , internal shifting may be exempted

Dear Sir,

As per Section 65B(26) GTA is defined as follows:

It means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note, by whatever name called.

Hence, if the transporter wants to avail the benefit of abatement he will have to classified as a GTA and for that he needs to issue Consignment note by whatever name called.

With respect to abatement entry no. 7 of Notification 26/2012-ST, dated 20-6-2012 says that the service tax is payable for services provided by GTA on 25% of gross amount charged. The abatement of 75% of gross amount charged is permitted for determining the value on which tax is payable. However the services of GTA by road are not considered as output services and hence credit of inputs, capital goods and input services are not available to service provider. 

Hope this resolves your query. In case of any further queries do get back to us.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mr. Pati,

 

This has reference to the query raised by you in the trailing mail.

 

In this regard, please note that as per section 65B(26) of Finance Act, 1994, ‘Goods Transport Agency’ means any person who provides service in relation to transport of goods by road and issues consignment note by whatever name called. Thus issuance of consignment note is an essential requirement to be a goods transport agency.

 

Further, As per entry no 7 of Notification 26/2012- ST, dated 20-06-2012, service tax is payable for services provided by Goods Transport Agency on 25% of gross value of service. A 75% abatement is allowed on the tax payable.

 

It must be noted that, under Reverse charge mechanism or tax shift, Service receiver is liable to pay service tax on such services.

 

In the instant case, it must be noted that the above provisions would only apply if the the service provider is a GTA.

 

In this regard, we would have to make sure that the agreement between the company and the contractor is a GTA Agreement and not any other agreement. If the transportation is carried out in lieu of some other services the concept of bundled service would apply and we would have to see the substance of the agreement.

 

Further, it must be noted that the abatement of GTA is not available nor reverse charge of GTA would apply in case the basic nature of service is service other than GTA i.e. cargo handling service or any other service.

 

In case you require any other clarification, do let us know.

 

Thanks & Regards,

CA. Vikash Agarwal

Please let me know the status of Income Tax on Interests on FDs created by funds in the NRE account transferred by the NRI during the course of his services outside India. Is it taxable ? What about accrued interests?

It is an output service in certain cases.
