This is the query.   We are not talking about propritory concern.

Proprietor of the Company has phone in the house which is provided by the company and paid by the company. Can the company avail credit of the service tax paid by the company on the bills towards this phone.

Please clarify.

 

With regards,

Vinod Bajaj.

A proprietor can only have a concern. Not a company.
