Dear Sir,

This is with regard to the availabity of CENVAT Credit on the service tax paid by a corporation on availing the service of a transporter of goods by road.. Cen credit be taken? Since the manufacturer is required to file the Service Tax, will he be able to get credit for it as an input? This is with regard to transportation from the factory to the clearing agent. I am aware that no credit may be taken for outward transpotation from the clearing agent to the customer. Thank You..

Sir,
we r having some transport contracts. In such contracts, contractor was asked to dump meterial form one place to another place at an avg.distance of 5KM.For this, monthly payments will be made to contractor based on daily trip sheets.Further no conignment notes will be issued bythe contractor. In this case, consignor and consignee will be the same person.

Are these type of contracts also covered under GTA Services and liable to Service Tax?

Kindly Clarify.

Sir,
My querry is with regard to the availabilty of CENVAT credit to companies who provide outward transportation to distributors after the sale is made in their distibution centres. Can outward transportation be treated as input service? As per notification, the liability to pay service tax is on the receiver of service for goods transport by road. if the company is required to pay the service tax to the govt, can it claim input tax credit on teh service it has availed and paid tax on? If yes, how will this be taken?
