A service receiver is paying service tax on behalf of a foreign consultant. Let me know whether he can claim input credit on the same amount paid. Kindly mention the rule also.

the payment for services of foreign consultants is under sec 66A and is eleigible for credit. Sec 66A is under Sec 66 and therefore no difference. If a local person had provided the same services the amount + ST would have been paid and the St would have been availed as credit,
