The Cenvat Credit Rules 2004, define input service. According to Rule 2 (l), input service means any service:
i) used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service; or
(ii) used by the manufacturer, whether directly or indirectly, in or in relation to the manufacture of final products and clearance of final products from the place of removal,
and includes services used in relation to setting up, modernization, renovation or repairs of a factory, premises of provider of output service or an office relating to such factory or premises, advertisement or sales promotion, market research, storage upto the place of removal, procurement of inputs, activities relating to business, such as accounting, auditing, financing, recruitment and quality control, coaching and training, computer networking, credit rating, share registry, and security, inward transportation of inputs or capital goods and outward transportation upto the place of removal;
a manufacture can take credit on the service tax paid on outward transport of goods up to the place of removal and not beyond that.
The definition given by rule 2(1) is in the context of relief in regard to duty/tax paid on input service. Post-sale transport of manufactured goods is not an input in manufacture. The two clauses in the definition take care to circumscribe input credit by stating that service used in relation to the clearance from the input credit by stating that service used for outward transportation up to the place of removal are to be treated as input service .
The first clause does not mention transport service in particular. The second clause restricts transport service credit up to the place of removal. When these two clauses are read together, it would become clear that transport service credit cannot go beyond transport up to the place of removal. The two clauses, one dealing with general provision and another with a specific item, are not to be read disjunctively as to bring about conflict and to defeat the laws/scheme.
In view of above Cenvat credit cannot be availed beyond place of removal though it has paid under RCM
