Hi

My company engage in hospitality inductry and will open a 5 Star Hotel. Hotel is in contruction stage since 2009 and will complete in 2014.  We are taking place so many work orders to the contractors for civil construction as well as for equipment installation. Contractor are charging service tax on their running bills. And we are also taking services of Archtects. They are also charging service tax on their invoices 

Our Hotel will provide output service like reneted accomodations, restaurents services & beauty parlour etc. and will charge service tax on these services.

Whether we can take CENVAT credit on work contract and architect services received.
