Head Office being registered as ISD (Input Service Distributor)not providing any output Service, having five factories and having Service Tax Registration as service provider. Expenses incurred at HO on Security Expenses, Advertisemnt,R &D etc and service tax paid on it can be transferred by HO to its Factories for getting the Cenvat Credit as they(Factories) are providing the Output service. please advise that even the Service Tax paid on security Charges can be passed on to Factories by ISD, Since Advertisement and R&D costs may be said to be common cost but the same treatment should also to be given to the service tax paid on Security Expenses of HO. Please advice.
