 Dear Vikash actually there is no customer. he purchases it from suppliers & then sent it to his own construction site. so its litile bit complex i guess.

please reply after considering my point

Dear Aksh,

Yes Service tax shall be payable under reverse charge on transfer of goods to different sites.

Cenvat Credit cannot be utilized for payment of above service tax under reverse charge since after the amendment "GTA under reverse charge" has been taken out of the purview of "output service".

The credit of above sum paid under reverse charge can be utilized as for the payment of service tax (on output service) or excise duty....

Thanks Amir For ur speedy Reply.
