13 May 2009 In hotels we will have to charge the luxury tax on room rent. So service tax would be taken on gross amt.? Simlarly the vat on f&B sales is taken and service tax is taken on gross amt.? During construction the bill I pay attracts Excise payment and service tax element. so can i take input credit of both (i.e. excise and service tax element). In how many years I can take input credit(i.e. of service tax and excise).? Please guide I am juggling between statues...

13 May 2009 There is no ST on room rent
ON F&B sales also ( unless as mandpa) there is no ST.
ST input services credit available as per Rule 6 of cenvat credit rules[ you can read and then raise queries] No time limit for credit provided conditions met.
