Where Service tax is payable under Reverse Charge Mechanism, it is to be paid by Cash only. Thus benefit of Cenvat credit cannot be availed of in such a case.
But any Service Recipient so liable to pay service tax in the above scheme can claim Cenvat credit of such tax paid by him and utilize the credit against
* Central Excise duty payable on manufacture of final goods OR
* Service Tax payable by him on any output service
If we have some legal fee received from a individual advocate of Rs 1000/- and as per reverse charge mechanism we have to libale service tax for that of rs 123.60, can we adjust the the amount of Rs 123.60 with other service tax libility.
