AI Summary

Service tax applicability on weighbridge services: may be taxable unless exempt or below the turnover threshold, permission needed for third-party goods.
Weighbridge weighment charges may be subject to service tax because such services are not on the negative list and are not covered by the mega exemption notification; taxability depends on the applicable threshold limit. Where trucks weighed at the premises carry third-party goods, prior departmental permission may be required before providing weighment services to those parties.
