17 April 2014 My client charges service tax on renting on Immovable properties.
Is he eligible to take CENVAT credit of service tax payments made to Builders for under construction properties purchased by him ??

17 April 2014 As per my view with reference to the defination of input services under Rule 2(l) of CCR 2004 cenvat credit of servicetax paid for under construction property is not admissible .
therefore you cannot take the credit of service tax paid to bilder while paying service tax on renting service.
