can an importer of computer hardware who repackages and resells in indian market take set off of SAD paid on import against domestic service tax liability being computer advisory services ?
It registered under central excise after 6 months of importing these goods. (It does not have any excise liability as its turnover is less than 1.5 crores.)

As per CCR, 2004, SAD in lieu of sales tax/vat paid on capital goods or on materials shall not be allowed as cenvat credit in the hands of service provider to set-off against output service tax. It is allowed only to manufacturers paying excise duty.
