07 June 2010 First of all the term drawing is used in propritor ship or partnership firm only. In case of company or other entity there cannot be word drawings.
Coming to u r question directly;
If credit card is provided by company to its director only for official use, than service tax paid will be inclusive part of expenses and company may bear the same and will be allowed as deduction, whereas director uses its personal credit card for official as well as for personal use than company may bear the service tax element to the extent apportioned to official expenses.
