Service tax reverse charge

We are receiver of GTA service... We pay service Tax @ 4.2 % on invoice raised by service Provider(GTA). Now my question is being the service receiver can we take input of the tax paid under reverse charge and utilise it against Service Tax liability..??

No, service tax paid under reverse charge mechanism has to be discharged in cash only and no credit is admissible for same.

I think Siddhartha is asking whether the Service tax paid under reverse charge mechanism be available as Cenvat credit to pay the Service tax liability. In this, case, if such services are used directly or indirectly for manufacture of final product, then the Cenvat credit on such amounts should be available except on the outward transportation of goods. [Rule 2(l) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004]

Hi Siddharth,

I believe you should still be able to use the Cenvat credit on such payment, except for the outward transportation. Refer Rule 2(l)
