Non-issuance of consignment note does not entitle exemption. There is service provider and service receiver. Also consideration. No exemption admissible.

Exemption depends upon the type of goods carried in a vehicle by goods transport agency.

AI Summary

Service tax exemption denied where non-issuance of consignment note; GST treatment depends on goods type and rules.
Non-issuance of consignment notes does not entitle exemption: where a supplier provides truck services and receives consideration there is a service provider and recipient and the activity is taxable; selection of an SAC for GST migration does not itself grant exemption. Under GST, eligibility for any concessional treatment depends on the service classification and the nature of goods carried, pending detailed notifications and final GST provisions.
