Service tax cenvat credit

Notification No. 13/2011-C.E. (N.T.), dated 31-3-2011 amends Cenvat Credit Rules 2004.

The said notification amends rule 4 (7). Accordingly

I hope this helps you.

you can avail the benefit of cenvat credit only when once a bill raised.but if u don't payment of such bill within 90 days then if service provider deposits such amount of tax then the liability of tax at yours hand.

Is it any exemption in service tax rate for airways industries?

Mr. Amol,

Please give some details of type of Service provided by you. "airways industries" as used by you is a very vague term and may include a lot of things.

Dear Sir,

We are provider of crane services in India. We are paying services tax under “Supply of Tangible good” category. One of our input service provider (Pvt. Ltd. Co)is providing us service of “Machining” wherein he reshape some of our parts of cranes as per company requirement (All raw material is provided by us). Input service provider has gross turnover of 45 Lacs but does not registered under service tax & therefore he is not charging any service tax amount in his bill. We are not taking any CENVAT credit for the same.

Query: 1. Shall we insist him to have ST registration number? Are we responsible for his act of not registering service tax?
