Service tax credit in excise

14 December 2013 Our CHA is charging Service tax on his clearing and forwarding charges and also on the transport charges.

E.g. : Rs. 100/- (Transport charges)+ Rs. 50/- (clearing & forwarding charges) = 150/- + 18.54/- (ST on freight and Clearing charges) = total amt Rs. 168.54

Now I want to know whether I can take credit of this ST amt of Rs. 18.54 in Excise return? and if I could not take this credit in excise return, then can I take this credit in ST return? Is there any notification related to this?

15 December 2013 Dear friend,

In order to be eligible for credit, the services received by you should be input services. IF it is input service, definitely, you are eligible for credit. It appears that the services of CHA may be relating to export of goods and as such credit seems to be admissible. The eligible credit is to be shown in the ER-1/ER3.
