These abatements lead to less rate of tax

 

Hence, sometimes Central Government places a condition that if abatement is being claimed by Service provider, he cannot claim Cenvat

 We know that there are 3 types of Cenvat

  1. Cenvat on Inputs
  2. Cenvat on Capital Goods
  3. Cenvat on Input Services

Air Transport Service and Renting on Hotels

Cenvat on Inputs and Capital Goods is not available

(But Cenvat on Input Service is available)

 

Goods Transport Agency

There is reverse charge on Goods Transport Agency (Freight charges) in some cases

Hence, the service receiver pays Service Tax

However, condition for not claiming cenvat is on Service provider and not on service receiver

Service Provider cannot claim cenvat of all 3 (inputs/capital goods/input services)

 

 

Cab Transport

Service Provider cannot claim cenvat of all 3 (inputs/capital goods/input services)
