24 November 2008 To Ram Avtar Sir, i think we cannot take credit of freight because as per the amendment by finance act 2008 GTA is excluded from the definition of out output service. Further in the definition of input service as far as outward transportation is concerned it is only upto place of removal and not from place of removal therefore in my view credit cannot be taken. correct me if am wrong.
