Rule 3(2) of the Works Contract(Composition Scheme for Payment of service Tax) Rules, 2007 provides that the provider of taxable service opting to pay service tax under the composition scheme is not entitled to take CENVAT credit of duty on inputs, used in or in relation to the said works contract, under the provisions of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. There is no restriction under Notification No. 32/2007- Service Tax dated22.5.2007 to take CENVAT credit of duty paid on capital goods and service tax paid on input services.
