30 August 2010 Under TNVAT Act, credit of capital goods is allowed only if capital goods are used in manufacturing taxable goods.

In your case, capital goods are not used in manufacturing taxable goods but rendering services. Accordingly, you will not be able to claim set-off.

Are you trading in spares? In that case you will be able to claim VAT setoff of VAT paid on purchases of spares against their liability on sales.
