22 December 2016 Our Company using a Cab for official use and pay monthly charges on actual km travelled. We also pay service tax as Service recipient ( 50%) and rest 50% paid by Service provider.

As service recipient can we take cenvat of service tax paid by us ( 50%) under Notification no. 26/2012.

22 December 2016 No.. Company cant take CENVAT credit in Full or partial Reverse charge Mechanism. w.e.f. 01.07.12, an ‘explanation’ has been added to Rule 3(4) of the Cenvat Credit Rules which provide that cenvat credit cannot be used for payment of service tax in respect of services where the person liable to pay tax is the service recipient.
