C.V.R.SARMA (SERVICE) (90 Points)

09 September 2010  

Service tax on renting of tangible goods like machinery has been introduced with effect from 16.05.2008. A unit who is a manufacturer under Central Excise has leased out certain capital goods to another unit and is collecting rental charges on the same. Service Tax is being paid on the rental charges collected. Provision of service requires sending of the capital goods outside. In such a case is it required to reverse the Cenvat credit availed on the capital goods since the capital goods are moving outside.
