Dear Senior Members,

I have some following doubt regarding Service Tax and Input credit, please healp me to sort out problem.

 1. Service Tax officer says that we can not utilised cenvat credit for the payment of GTA   (Consignee/Consigner). Should we pay service tax on GTA (consignee/consigner) through CENVAT Credit ? [if any notification]

2. Should we take cenvat credit on director's telephone bill paid by the company. [if any notification]

Regards
