  1. When labour contractor will start charging Service Tax in their bill, can we take set off of such (INPUT)tax paid from our service tax payable (OUTPUT). in case nature of expenses will differ e.g. we are paying service tax on behalf of  transporter i.e our service tax output and we are paying service tax (INPUT) of bill received from labour contractor, Security bill, Telephone bills, water bills?  Can we take a set off from transportation i.e carriage outwards ?
