19 December 2008 The Import of services are made liable to service tax in the hands of service receiver subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. Depending upon the type of services received, the importer of service has to register with the department. The tax paid on import services can be adjusted as CENVAT Credit against the service tax payable , if such services are used for manufacturing or providing the output services. Therefore your company can take credit of service tax paid under reversal charged.
