Hi, on of my client is into business of Providing Service of Storage & Warehouse. Service tax charged & paid under Storage & Warehouse category of Services. Client had taken Warehouses on Rent agst which service tax is paid by client to owner of warehouse. My question is whether my client is eligible to take cenvat credit for service tax paid to his landlord & can adjust his liab for Service tax payable for Storage & Warehosue Services?.

ya he is eligible....because "input service" means any service, — (i) used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service
