input cerdit on construction service

Dear sir,

Since you are availing abatement @ 67%, you cannot claim credit of duty paid on inputs or Capital goods used for providing taxable service. However, you can very well claim the service tax and cess paid on input services from your tax liability.

It may please be noted that wef 1.3.2006, no CENVAT can be taken if abatement claimed. WEF 1.3.2006 you cannot avail any type of credits including on input services if you avail abatement.
