You may take cenvat credit of the service tax charged by the auditors/consultants on their profession fee, as it comes under the purview of input services. Secondly you may also set off this cenvat credit against your liability of service tax on rent.

In the instant case, it seems that the services of Tax Professional has been taken for the purpose of assessee's business as such Cenvat Credit can be claimed irrespective of the nature of the Input Service Tax. In Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 there is no such type of restriction that you can claim only Cenvat Credit of the services of same nature. The only restriction is that it is to be used for the purpose of assessee's business.
