1) Can a chartered accountant claim cenvat credit in respect of service tax paid by him to his architect on interiors of his office?
2)Mr A is a service provider. He is an interior decorator to his client B. Mr C (Engineer) and Mr D( Engineer) assist Mr A in providing service to Mr B. At the completion of work, Mr B Pays full amount of RS 1,00,000 Including service tax to Mr A. Mr A, Later pays Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 respectively to Mr C and D , including service tax, for assisting him in the whole contract.
Is Mr A Eligible for Cenvat credit on service tax paid to Mr C, and D on fees of Rs 10 k and 20 K respectively paid to them? Please advise sir.
