09 October 2009 Cenvat Creidt Rules, 2004 permits a manufacturer to take credit of service tax paid on input services.

Advertisement, sales promotion etc. has been included in the inclusive part of the definition of Input Service.

In the recent Coca Cola's case, advertisement has been held to be an input service.

You are eligible for the credit. Registration as service provider is not required.
