Dear Sir, My client is a Limited co. It is a manufacturing unit. We paid transportation for receiving raw material and also for supplying finished goods. so on both we have to pay service tax.
Can we take the credit of service tax we paid on Telephone, Professional service etc.

Mr.S.Srinivasaraghvan,services provided by good transport agency has already been struck out from the definition of output service so in my opinion, GTA cann`t take credit of input service.If u are not satisfied with my point,pls revert back to me with detail

Mr. Chopra is correct. Cenvat Credit can not be utilised for payment of service tax, if tax is payable by the consigner/consignee.
Since you are a manufacturing co., you can utilise the service tax paid on inward transportation of raw material, and other input services, for payment of excise duty.
Considering the expertise of experts on the forum, it is advisable to judge the opinion before acting upon.
