Dear All,
We are an FMCG company. We pay service tax on the carriage inwards/outwardscharges since the transporter does not claim service tax in his bill. The Service Tax is paid directly to the department since the transporter does not claim from us.
Please clarify should we file a halfyearly return. Even we dont have service tax no.
Regards
John Shannel
FMCG Company Must File Half-Yearly Service Tax Returns Under Reverse Charge for GTA Services; Registration Required. An FMCG company inquires about the necessity of filing a half-yearly service tax return, given that they pay service tax on transportation charges directly to the department, as transporters do not include it in their bills. Responses clarify that under the Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services, the service recipient is considered the service provider and must file returns. The discussion highlights the reverse charge mechanism, requiring the recipient to pay and file service tax. Concerns are raised about the company not having a service tax number, suggesting they need to register to comply with tax obligations. (AI Summary)
