20 September 2012 We have constructed a Factory Building PFB and now we want to give this factory building (immovable property)on lease to other unit
Can we take Service tax Credit?
The amount of S.Tax is Rs.10 lacs ,please guide .Is there any other way out to utilize this credit.?

20 September 2012 No, Cenvat credit of input service is allowed, it is not inout service for the purpose of output service(Rent Income).

20 September 2012 No, Cenvat credit of input service is allowed, it is not inout service for the purpose of output service(Rent Income).

20 September 2012 Please read Master Circular No. 96/7/2007-S.T., dated 23.8.2007from C.B.E&C. as amended by Circular No.98/1/2008-S.T., dated 4.1.2008-
"Input credit of service tax can be taken only if theoutput is a ‘service’ liable to service tax or a ‘goods’ liable to excise duty. Since immovable property is neither ‘service’ or ‘goods’ as referred
to above, input credit cannot be taken".

20 September 2012 thanks for the reply.but renting the immovable property is output service for leasing ?

20 September 2012 Renting is output service but immovable property is not an outout service. Hence,Cenvat credit of input service of construction service is not avaialable
