We(say company A) are dealer of goods.Goods are purchased from manufacturer(say company B) and are sold to final consumer by us.



Company B sends us goods through road transport (say comapnay C i.e a independent party) and charges us for the same through the invoice by showing road transportaion charges seprately after cost of goods in invoice issued by them.



It must be noted that although company C (i.e road transport agency) is paid by company B at first but later on that cost is borne by our company (i.e company A).



My query is wether we (i.e company A) can claim Cenvat credit of service tax included in those charges (i.e charged by company C to company B) which are ultimately borne by us?

Hi All,

I want to know something regarding service tax.
In case of service tax, if a person in India takes services of any person who is abroad, then the service tax liability is of the service receiver.

Now if an Indian has taken the services in aborad of any agent for arranging Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and paid the agency commission in aborad out of the funds received through FCCB.
Now the question is whether we had received the services in aborad or India?

Your earlier response will be highly appreciated
