20 June 2008 1.Service tax credit is only eligible on Inward Freight. for outward freight you can tax credit upto the place of removal, for eg. removal from factory upto warehouse or depot, if factory is not the place of removal
2.Original Invoice have all details provided under Rule 4
3.Query is not clear, please elaborate
4.Yes you can take the credit of such services.
5.To take credit you should be providing services. If at the time of taking credit you were not registered it is assumed that you were not paying service tax.
If you intend to pay your previous dues then you can take the credit, however this would be debatable and relief granted at Tribunal level
