Thanks a lot and one of my query is -
we have a manufacturing unit and we use to purchase iron ore, transported through lorries from despatch place. we have paid service tax on such transportation on GTA after availing abatement (i.e ST paid on 25%). And thereafter we have taken service tax credit on such GTA to adjust excise duty payable. Upto the above stage it is OK.
The problem arises from here--> After consumption of iron ore, some of its fines (iron ore fines) left with us. we have sold these iron ore fines and paid GTA and then availed service tax credit to adjust excise duty liablity. Now the excise auditor has raised objection - no service tax credit can be adjusted, and they approximately quantified the iron ore transportation figure and ask us to reverse the same.
> Is it correct that we cannot take the ST credit, when we have paid the GTA on its transportation.
Need clarification and notification.
