If an assessee has paid serice tax on input services taken for a project that is to be commenced in 2016, can it ask for refund of the same on quarterly basis in current year, as it has not started providing services or manufacturing product?
Please advise as soon as possible.
Thanks

The company is eligible to take credit only on service tax paid for those input services that will be utilised for manufacturing/providing the output. Thus, in this case since, the company has not begun activities in relation to its output, credit to be postponed. Refund is not allowed.
