My company is mfg company on transportation we are paying service tax can u explain me what is service tax abatement what is its % & how it is calculated. so on that 75% we are suppose to calculate service tax also we can input credit on that our company also pays excise duty so what is CENVET CREDIT?

We want to claim the Cenvat credit for Excise duty paid by us against Service tax payable. Accordingly we filled the necessary details in ST-3.

But the Service Tax Inspector is not accepting the same and seeks following additional details from us:
1. Copies of Invoices for excise paid along with detailed ledger.
2. Copies of earlier return filed (ST-3)
3. Copies of Challan.

Will it be sufficient if we provide the ledger confirmation from the party to whom we are paying excise.

Or is it compulsory to submit copies of invoices along with ST-3.

Also tell me the provisions of the Service tax Rules in this matter.

We are claiming the cenvat credit but the officer is not accepting the same and he seeks following from us:-
1. Zerox copies of earlier ST-3,
2. Copies of Invoices of input material
3. Copies of Challan

Will it be sufficient if we produce the ledger confirmation from the third party along with ST-3 who is providing input material and collecting excise from us.
