Issues: Whether CENVAT credit could be utilized to discharge service tax liability on goods transport agency service during the relevant period.
Analysis: The Tribunal noted that the issue had already been settled in favour of assessees in earlier decisions holding that goods transport agency service was an output service and that CENVAT credit could be used for payment of service tax on such service. The relevant period was before the amendment deleting the Explanation to Rule 2(p) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, so the pre-amendment position governed the dispute.
Conclusion: Utilisation of CENVAT credit for payment of service tax on goods transport agency service was permissible for the period in dispute.
