GOODS TRANSPORT AGENTCY

[RAVI SONI]

M/S XYZ a partnership firm is registered with Service Tax dept under the category of Transportation of Goods by Road as a service receiver. M/S XYZ is a authorised agent of TATA pipes and it is engaged in supplying of such goods to its customers. In the present case since M/S XYZ is registered with Service Tax dept therefore the firm is liable to pay service tax to the dept as a service receiver.

 In this regard I want to know that whether the service amount can be collected from its customers who receives the goods from M/S XYZ.
