27 May 2014 When the service tax is paid on inward freight GTA under reverse charge mechanism taking the benefit of abatement i.e. on abated value of 25% then Can Cenvat credit of the same be taken ? Can cenvat credit be taken of the above service tax paid ?

27 May 2014 In accordance with Not No 26/2012 So No 7 on GTA services abated value of 25% is available and there is condition that the service provider should not have used credits on any inputs for providing such taxable service, and in accordance with Not No 30/2012 Sl No 2 the receiver is liable to pay tax so I guess the receiver can take credit by paying under reverse charge.

I would request other experts to update and clarify this point further.
