04 January 2013 I AM BUILDER ENGAGED IN CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. I HAVE PAID GTA (GOODS TRANSPORT AGENCY) ON MY FRIEGHT PAYMENT. NOW I WANT TO TAKE CREDIT OF SUCH GTA PAYAMENT AGAINST MY SERVICE TAX LIABILITY PAYMENT ON CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY.CAN BE IT TAKEN?

IN SHORT I WANT TO SET OFF THE GTA PAYMENT AGAINST MY OTHER SERVICE TAX PAYMENT.IS THIS POSSIBLE?

REGARDS
