Service tax - transport, Service Tax

[MAHESH KUMAR]

A Pvt Ltd company who has got itself registered with the Service tax department for transport paymnets, also makes payments to the transporters who are companies i.e. those transport companies are supposed to collect service tax from the consigner/consignees. My query is whether the pvt ltd company has to pay the service tax amount to those transport companies or pay themselves to the service tax department as it has got the registration no. Pl advise, thanks

The liability to pay ST if the consignor/ ee is a company rests with the co and not with the transporter ( any status) As already registered the co is to pay the ST
