20 May 2009 Can a manufacturing company avail credit of service tax charged by a broker/ commission agent for the business(purchases and sales) brought by him for the company?

The company argues that credit cannot be taken as the broker/ agent has gathered business for sales(post manufacturing activity).If broker charges them for purchase of raw materials(pre manufacturing activity) then they would take credit for the service tax amount charged on the brokerage.

Please clarify the issue with reference to the relevant section of the Service Tax Act.
