Dear Querist,

Relevant extract of the above notification is appended below:

“(EE) in relation to service provided or agreed to be provided by a director of a company or a body corporate to the said company or the body corporate, the recipient of such service;”;

Now under RCM Service Tax on freight is to be paid by the person who pays (bears) the freight. Preference-wise position is as under:-

1. Consignor (if prices are FOR)

2. Consignee

3. GTA

In view of the above legal position, you are not liable to pay Service Tax on freight.
