 Sir

1) Road - This is covered under GTA – (Goods Transport Agency)-Termed as Transport booking agents.  – Service tax payable is 25%  i.e 2.5% plus 3% of gross amount charged.  If he is having PAN No & Service Tax No. regn. He is exempted from TDS.  -  Service tax is paid by service receiver not transport agency.

2) AIR  - Service Tax – 10.30% on total freight  - Service tax is paid by Transport agency.(Claimed in the bill itself)

3)Train  - Same as Pt# 2.

1. One more point – For Air & Train we gave the rate as Air mvt/Train mvt., not partially for air/train & partially for road.  So this is treated as Air/Train only.

AI Summary

TDS on transport services: registered goods transport agencies exempt; air and rail freight involve service tax and TDS considerations.
TDS on transporter bills depends on mode of transport and transporter registration: road carriage by a registered Goods Transport Agency is treated as GTA and exempt from TDS with service tax borne by the receiver; air and rail carriage are treated as air/train movements with service tax shown in the bill and treated as air/rail services rather than partly road, affecting TDS applicability where PAN and service-tax registration are absent.
