I have taken Service Tax Registration and to remit the Service Tax Quarterly. Can I claim cenvat credit for payment of Service tax on Telephone charges, courier charges,AMC etc.? If I can deduct these from my Service tax due, How can I show the credit in the Hly returns ? I have taken the registration online. When should I file this half yearly return? Please clarify...
You can claim the credit on the Telephone charges and AMC but not on courier charges. In the ST return, there is a page to shoe the details of the cenvat credit amount claimed. To avoid the unnecessary problems, maintain the cenvat credit registers properly.
