Goods Transport Agency

In Mega Exemption Notification no 25/2012  the wordings are as under:

(b) goods where gross amount charged for the transportation of goods on a consignment transported in a single goods carriage does not exceed one thousand five hundred rupees; or

(c) goods, where gross amount charged for transportation of all such goods for a single consignee in the goods carriage does not exceed rupees seven hundred fifty;

You need to check whether the payment you made for Rs 1400 is for goods transported in a single good carriage, if so it is exempt. However if it is for a single consignee then it is taxable

Thank You Sir, Pease Clarify the following

1. According to first point goods transported from one transporter for Rs.1500/- is excempted

Ex:

If we transported Ms Rounds from Associated Road Carriers Ltd on 01/04/2012   for Rs.1500/- then it is exempted, if we transported Ms Rounds( Single Good) from same transporter on 15/04/2012 for Rs. 1500/- then the Total Amount of Transportation is Rs.3000/- so it is not exempted.

to Claim the exemption the folloing should be stisfied

1. there must be single good

2.One transporter

3. Transportation amount is Rs.1500/-

According to Second point

1. There must be a  Single consignee (Sller)

2. Multiple goods

3. multiple transporters

4. Transportation amount is Rs.750/-

Sir please correct if is any mistakes in the above

Dear Sir

As per my understanding the wordings are "single goods carriage" which means vehicle. So if the value of goods transported in one vehicle to various consignees does not exceed Rs 1500 it is not subject to tax. In your question if the goods carriages are different then exemption is available

The Rs 750 limit applies for the limit of the consignments to any particular consignee not to exceed Rs 750 for each truck load 

The first situation is where consignments are transported in a single goods carriage for different consignees and the total freight does not exceed Rs. 1500/- in all.  

The second situation covers an "individual cosignment' trasported by a GTA for a particular consignee.  In such a situation if the gross amount charged to one consignee is Rs. 750/- or less there will be no levy of service tax.  The limit of Rs. 750/-  is with reference to each truck load carried for a particular consignee.
