ST on catering and hospitality service!!

i think 

if u have take the benefit of prescribe  abatement under act

then u can not get  input tax credit ...

otherwise u can take the benefit of input tax credit

Dear Vinay,

The input service tax credit will be allowed only if the expenditure is a necessity for the purpose of furtherance of the business. If the expenditure is for say, employee get together, annual party etc.. it will be disallowed by the department.

Thanks,

Ganesh
