Dear Sir.

Service receiver is required to pay Service Tax on 25 % of Transportation Charges and ensure that Service Provider is mentioning of LR/Consignment Note as well as their invoice that "They have not availed Credit of Service Tax paid on Input, Capital Goods and In-put services".

AI Summary

Service tax abatement requires recipient to pay tax on taxable portion of transport charges and verify provider invoice declarations. Notification 26/2012 grants a 75% abatement for GTA services, making 25% of transportation charges taxable; the service recipient must pay service tax on that taxable portion and ensure the provider's LR/consignment note and invoice state that no input tax credit on inputs, capital goods and input services has been availed.
