Cenvat credit on bills of income tax consultants

551 views 4 replies

We are providing consulting engineering service. Generally, cenvat credit of service tax is admissible if input service is used in or in relation to providing output service.

There are plethora of case laws where it has been decided that one to one or direct nexus is not important; indirect connection is also admissible.

So, is service tax paid to income tax consultants for reprsenting the company in appeal/tribunal on their services provided to us admissible for cenvat credit. Similarly, service tax paid to statutory auditor on their audit fee is entitled to cenvat credit?

Please share your views, opinion.

hi

To the extent i understand the cenvat credit rules 2(l), you are eligble to take input credit of both Statutory audit fees and tax consultants

 

 

Legal services are allowed u can take Cenvat credit

Regarding Income tax consultant, pls see the input service definition.  There it says, legal consultancy service and accounting services.  So, both income tax consultant and statutory audit services can be availed.
