We have made the commission payment to our HQ in US and relevant Service Tax has been paid @12.36%. This pertains to previous year which we paid service tax during this year only alongwith the interest.
Now, will we be allowed to take CENVAT Credit on the same during our Q3 liability?

yes you can take the cenvat credit of the service tax paid under reverse charge any time subject to payment of the same. but it can't be used for the payment of service tax in reverse charge. Service tax under reverse charge can only be paid in cash.

Rupesh its no where mentioned in the finance act 1994 that we can not take the cenvat credit of service tax paid under reverse charge. The only condition is that first it must be paid in cash after that assess will be eligible for the cenvat Rule 3 of CCR 2004. Secondly in case of services on which Abatement is given, cenvat credit not allowed. but their is no abatement on import of services. Hence credit will be allowed
