Hello,
When the service receiver is paying 100% of service tax on the service of renting of motor vehicle to carry passengers, he can claim abatement. Abatement available for the service is 60%. Therefore the service provider is liable to pay service tax only 40% of the value of service.
However, in order to claim abatement, there are some conditions to be satisfied. CENVAT Credit on inputs, capital goods and input services used for providing taxable services, should not be taken.
