06 December 2008 We avail CHA services while importing various raw material (RM).

CHA is paying various Service Charges while importing RM, he pays service tax on these services.
He is not availing service tax credit on these services and charges this in our bill (Basic+S.T.)+Agency Charges.

Query is:-
Can we avail credit of the services availed by the CHA.

Please give the Service Tax provision or Cas Law if any.

Thanks & Regards,

Sanjay
