In our Pvt. Ltd. company we have taken service tax registraton mentioning two services
1. Renting of immovable properties
2. Maintenance or repair service
Our company is a real estate company and our main business is construc building and sale the same.
One construction contractor charged service tax on labour charges of our new project and bill to our company.
Now we wish to get credit of service tax on contracotrs bill against service tax payable by us on rent and maintencance bill service tax.
But our CA refused that you cant't adjust because you are not having regn. under head contracotr/construction business in Service tax regn. certificate and this contracotrs services are not input for rent and maintenance services rendered by us.
Is our CA is correct.
Please advise if correct please guide how we can get credit of this amount because this amount is very high.

Sorry but you can not take credit for the service tax paid to the contractor.
as as per service tax rules credit is available for the tax paid for the service utilised/used in providing the service to the end user
Here you are using service of Contractor but the same service is not being used for the purpose of providing directly the service of Renting.
Therefore even you have the regn under Contractor head in Service tax you can not take credit of this against rent
