06 December 2012 Dear Experts,

My self a distributor and a service provider and service tax registered.

Can I take excise duty input credit charged to me by the manufacturer/import customs? The same can be adjusted against service tax payable?

If so can u guide me with the related clause of the act?

Warm Regards
Siju Joseph
