15 May 2012 Dear Author,

If you are eligible for Cenvat Credit of Service tax paid then the amount of Service tax paid will be debited to "Cenvat Credit Receivable A/c" under Loans & Advances".

If you are not eligible for Credit then expense shall be booked at gross amount inclusive of Service tax under respective head of expense.
