Sir,

If the entire consignment belongs to one consignee and total freight charged for their transportation is ₹ 750/- or less then no service tax is payable. You need not pay service tax on reverse charge mechanism.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Service tax not applicable.

[YAGAY and SUN]

In such transactions/scenarios service tax would not be payable under reverse charge mechanism.

I also endorse the views of the experts.
