11 February 2008 No dont make this blunder

The rencent circular denies credit of service tax on immovable property.

Even if it is rented out , thought it is debatebale and will not sustain in the court of law before the larger bench, you may take the credit but dont utilise unless the issue is clarified.

Refer CIRCULAR NO : 98/1/2008-ST., dated January 4, 2007
