Clarification on Service Tax Liability for Goods Transport Agency: Trader's Responsibility Based on Consignor/Consignee Category and Freight Payment. A trading unit inquired about the liability for Goods Transport Agency (GTA) service tax on transport expenses exceeding certain amounts. The first response clarified that service tax liability arises if the consignor or consignee falls under specific categories, such as registered factories, companies, or societies. If a trader does not belong to these categories or transact with them, they are not liable for service tax. The second response added that even if the consignor or consignee is one of the specified categories, the trader must pay service tax if they bear the freight expenses, regardless of their own category status.
