Dear Sir,

Whether Service Tax is payable on renting of Immovable Property wide Notification No. 24/2007?

Now the Head Office issues Cenvat Invoices to Factory for cenvat taken on services bills recevived on all India basis.(Centralised Registration)

Factory is maintaining separate accounts for receipt, consumption and inventory of inputs used in the manufacture of dutiable final products and the quantity of inputs used in the manufacture of exempted goods. Accordingly fatory take CENVAT credit only on that quantity which is used in the manufacture of dutiable goods. It may also be noted that there is no any inputs which is commonly used in the manufacture of dutiable and exempted goods.

As Factory is taking full Cenvat credit in respect of the invoices raised by the Head Office and Head Office is issuing the CENVAT invoice on the basis of rule 7 and Head Office is not having any record of exempted goods with them, now how to not to claim CENVAT on services availed for exempted goods or common services on proportionate basis or Factory can claim the full cenvat.
