Service Tax input credit

Hi,

Service tax paid on input services can be availed either against excise or service tax liability. 

Hi,

Hi Karthi,

A logic exist in setting off tax liability. Set off of any  tax is allowed only against the tax liability of the same nature as that of set off is intended.

Input Servcie tax off can be claimed only against output service tax liability. Furthur, Input service tax set off can be claimed against excise duty payable on manufactured output, if the said service is used directly or indirectly for the manufacture of said outputs.

Regards,

Prachi.
