Weighbridge Charges May Be Subject to Service Tax; Not Exempt Under Negative List or Mega Exemption Notification A manufacturing company operates a weighbridge and charges truck drivers for weighment services. The company seeks clarification on whether these charges are subject to service tax. Respondents indicate that weighbridge services are not exempt from service tax under the Negative List or Mega Exemption notification, implying that service tax may be applicable. It is noted that service tax applicability is also subject to a threshold limit. Additionally, if trucks carrying goods for external companies use the weighbridge, prior permission from the relevant department may be required. (AI Summary)
