please guide me....as if main contractor has paid s.tax at 4.944%(after abatement) and also sub contractor for the same work has paid s.tax at same rate than the main contrActor can take benefit of cenvat credit of s.tax paid by sub contractor ??
For the execution of same contract two persons are not required to pay Service Tax again and again.so,you can not avail credit of S.T paid by the sub contractor.
yes sub contractor has raised the bilk in the name of main contractor. but s.tax department is in stand that if abatement is claimed by main cotractor than no cenvat credit is available
