From 01-07-2012, specified services are taxable to company on reverse charge basis and one of them is rent-a-cab service. Generally, once paid, the amount of service tax paid on reverse charge basis is available as CENVAT Credit on the basis of GAR-7 challan paid. However, CENVAT credit of service tax paid on rent-a-cab service is specifically excluded in “input service” definition {Rule 2(I)} and thereby made it ineligible for credit.
