Can Consignors Charge Service Tax on Freight in GTA Invoices? Key Debate on Service Tax Credits. A discussion on a forum addresses whether service tax can be charged on freight in an excisable invoice under the Goods Transport Agency (GTA) framework. The primary issue is whether a consignor, who is not the service provider, can charge and recover service tax from the consignee. It is clarified that only an output service provider can pass on service tax credit. A consignor paying service tax under reverse charge cannot avail or pass on the credit. The debate includes concerns about companies charging service tax on invoices and the implications of such practices. The discussion concludes with advice to await audit results for further clarity.
