https://www.taxtmi.com/forum/issue?id=109466 Liability for service tax on freight invoiced by a vendor depends on who is the person liable to pay freight under the reverse charge mechanism. If the buyer is the statutory freight-paying person, the buyer must discharge service tax under reverse charge and may claim input credit supported by goods transport provider documents.
