Yes the Service Recipient can avail the credit of tax only to that extent.
For your reference I am giving the the extract of Rule 3(2A)of Works Contract ( Composition Scheme) Rules,2007
2a[(2A) The CENVAT credit of tax paid on taxable services as referred to under sub-clauses (zzd), (zzq) and (zzzh) of clause (105) of section 65 of the Finance Act, 1994, shall be available only to the extent of 40% of the service tax paid when such tax has been paid on the full value of the service after availing CENVAT credit on inputs.]

Thanks
