Dear All,

One company is registered under Works Cont. Service under Composition Scheme. It also sub-contracts part of the contracted work & this sub-contractor is also registered under Works Cont. Service under Composition Scheme.

Question:
1) Whether the company can take credit of service tax paid on bills received from its sub-contractors?

I think it is yes.

Plz clear my doubts.
Thanks
