Ours is a hospital running a clinic in brand name of a reputed hospital. We pay a license fee to such reputed hospital along with service tax thereon.

We provide service to business entities and Insurance companies on which we are liable to pay service tax.

My query is that whether we can claim service tax paid as input service tax. The department is of the view that we can not claim. please provide us the relevant material so that we can fight

31 December 2011 As per my opinion you are eligible for taking the input service tax paid on license fee. Since this is paid for the brand name and it is brand only that fetch patients and customers.... I am sure you should take the benefit of the same.....
