Is service tax paid on telephonebill allowed ascenvat credit

Hello Deepen,

Yes you can take CENVAT of the service tax paid on telephone bills,

The bill should be in the name of entity who is availing CENVAT, means if firm eants to avail CENVAT, the bill should be in the name of firm.

Bill in the name of partner cannot be used to avail CENVAT in name of firm, as both are different person

I agreed with Mr. Sourabh .

Thank you Sourabh and all.

The eligible input service used for provding taxable services wouldbe available as long as the telephone is used for business. If in office even if in the name of the partner - eligible.

Cenvat is a benifical scheme to avoid cascading of taxes abd therefore elitimate biusiness xp are available.
