Dear Learned Members,
Our company is providing free canteen services to employees. These services are provided within office premises and within office hours while performing office duty.
For this purpose, Compant has availed services of a vendor who is providing its services under the category outdoor catering services.
Whether CENVAT credit can be availed on service tax paid to this vendor. Please give your valuable advice having regard to definition of input services under CENVAT credit rules.
Thanks in advance..
