'WE' received a debit note from a vendor for service tax paid on security services provided by him before taking registration under Service Tax.
Can we avail credit of service tax paid by us to security agency ?

You can claim the service tax but you should take atmost care to get the service tax registeration no & the service tax is being paid by the service provider.
If he has not got the service tax registeration no, he could not have paid the same to the department.
& hence he cannot claim the service tax , if you are aware that the service provider has not paid the service tax portion of the above said invoice
