01 July 2010 The law on this count is not yet settled. The favourable decision in the case of ABB ltd., is under challange in the High Court.

If you can fight, you can take the cenvat as in your case the customer's doorstep is the place of removal.

What is meant by abetment in your query is not clear.

01 July 2010 IF SERVICE TAX CHARGED BY YOUR CLIENT IS FULL RATE OF TAX i.e 10.30% (wihtout taking abatement), then you can take cenvat credit of such freight because for you this freight inward.

If he is charging 25% of 10.30% i.e availing abatment. then you can't take credit of it.
