29 July 2011 Thanks for your reply.As per your information i understood that i can claim Cenvat Credit what i have paid on capital goods.Here is two things i want to know.

1.We are subcontractor and we are collecting service tax from Client and that is payble to Service Tax Department.

2.We have given sub contract of one private Civil work to some party.They are collected service tax from us.This is i can call it as service tax claim.

My Query is can i adjust above service tax claim(S.No-2) from Service tax payable amount(S.No-1).
