Whether sale of Recharge Coupon attracts Sales Tax/Vat or Service tax

Hi all,

Please guide me on the following matter.

In respect of Rule 6(3) of cenvat credit rules 2004, proportionate credit would be allowed in case where the assessee doesnt maitain seperate set of books for taxable and exempted services. And assessee would be then eligible to claim cenvat credit on only those input/ input services which actully been utilised for providing output service or removal of finished goods.

Exempted Services is defined under cenvat credit rules 2004 as follows :

2(e) "exempted services" means taxable services which are exempt from the whole of the service tax leviable thereon, and includes services on which no service tax is leviable under section 66 of the Finance Act;

Now my question is whether exempted service income also include Income earned by way of interest on investment, dividend also..



Thanks and Regards,

Manoj
