Service tax input credit

Dear Sir

we are manufacturing co and we have recevied service from one of our consultant for technical services and they have submitted 2 seprate bills one for consultancy charges and other for reimbursement of travelling charges (taxie hire) borne by them with service tax. My question is that can we take input service tax on reimbursment of travelling expenses.

we have mentioned in the work order that reimbursement of travelling and other expenses are not part of consultancy charges (exclude).

Pls send the reply asap

Thanks
