[Mehul Pandya]

Sir,

In case private limited company engaged in Salt Manufacturing. Therefore GTA is exempted. Therefore service tax registration not required. but Service tax under reverse charge is applicable to salt manufacturing unit or not ??

Thank you

Reverse charge is applicable in transactions the common one being GTA. Joint charge also maybe applicable to a Co. See article on reverse/ joint charge in articles section.

If only GTA no registration reqd.

Dear Mehul,

Under Reverse Charge Mechanism, the service receiver is deemed to be service provider and is person liable to pay the service tax under such scenario.  Therefore, such person is under obligation to get the registration certificate from the Jurisdictional Authorities and pay the tax on GTA service accordingly.
