Please clarify some doubts which i am having

We are registered as works contractors in service tax (since registered as WCT in Kerala VAT) and are in the business of residential flats construction. My doubt is that , can we avail cenvat credit on service tax paid in respect of input services of Architect fees paid for our construction activity.

Regards

With effect from 01.07.2012, any service provider providing services falling under the definition of works contract can avail the credits on input services and capital goods. Hence you can avail cenvat credit on service tax paid on Architect fees which can be considered as input service for construction of residential flat.
