Goods transport agency service classification determines whether activities fall under GTA or other taxable services, affecting service tax liability. Service tax liability depends on classification as Goods Transport Agency (GTA) service or another taxable service; GTA covers road transportation and activities during and in connection with transit where costs form part of gross freight, while independent or pre/post transport activities such as storage, packing, or unrelated handling fall under other services. Inclusion of multiple charges in one invoice does not convert non transport activities into gross freight. Subcontractors must separately determine taxability of their services; GTA abatement takes overlaps into account.
