If you are registered under GST then GST on freight you can collect it from the recipient of supply of service and pay tax to the govt.

1. If you do not take any credit on the goods used for providing the services the rate is Five percent

2. If you take the credit on the goods usedfor providing the services like credit on vehicles, lubricants then rate is twelve percent

3. If you give service to a certain category of person as notified by govt, then the tax will be paid by the recipient of service as.

4. If you provide service to others then the gst will be given by you.
