28 October 2011 Hi Experts, I would like received your opinion on below.

One of our manpower supply contractor has raised the bill to us by mentioning only manpower charges but there was no pre-printed ST registration no. & they are just putting rubber stamp of ST code.
And they are not mentioning any rules/clause in bills.
So, are we eligible to avail ST credit on same.

28 October 2011 Yes, you can avail credit on the invoices raised by the contractor but however it is better to ask your contractor to issue the invoice in accordance with the provisions precribed under Rule 4A of the Service Tax Rules.

For availing the credit you have to ensure that your company details and address are duly filled in the invoice and are properly authorised.

28 October 2011 Also we have observed that the contractor raised the bills by higher amount & accordingly we have deducted. So for this what type of accountability to be done.

28 October 2011 It is better to ask the service provider to issue a fresh invoice with the reduced figure.
