Unloading and haulting exp.

[S.C. WADHWA]

Dear Experts,

We are paying service tax on GTA services on GR basis. But transporter charging us in invoice freight as per gr plus unloading exp and some times haulting charges also. Now my query is whether we should pay service tax on unloading and haulting charges also. Please give your expert opinion.

Regards,

WADHWA
