<h1>Tribunal allows refund of CENVAT Credit for Service Tax on export services</h1> <h3>M/s Saavn Media Private Limited Versus Commissioner of Central Goods & Service Tax-Mumbai East</h3> The Tribunal allowed the appellant's appeals and directed the refund of accumulated CENVAT Credit under Notification No. 27/2012-CE for Service Tax paid ... Refund of unutilized accumulated CENVAT Credit - export of services - Service Tax paid on Event Management Service - Service Tax paid on Renting of Immovable Property - deficiency memo issued but there was no issue of show cause notice for rejection of refund - reason for rejection was that the premises in respect of which the rent was paid was not included in the Service Tax registration by the appellant. HELD THAT:- It is now settled law that unless CENVAT Credit availed by the appellant has not been recovered by way of issue of show cause notice invoking Rule 14 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, the CENVAT Credit available on the books of account cannot be rejected when it is accumulated on account of export of Service. In the present case, it is found that above stated amounts of CENVAT Credit was not disallowed by way of invoking Rule 14 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 and therefore, the said amounts are available in the account of the appellant. Since the CENVAT Credit is available on the accounts of the appellant, the refund of the same could not be rejected. The impugned order is set aside to the extent of rejection of refund of CENVAT Credit respectively to the tune of Rs. 5,97,465/- and Rs. 6,17,759/- and the original authority is directed to allow the refund of the same. Appeals allowed. Appellants, exporters of services, claimed refund of unutilized accumulated CENVAT credit under Notification No.27/2012-CE read with Rule 5, CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004; certain amounts were allowed but refunds of Rs. 5,97,465 and Rs. 6,17,759 were rejected. Rejection related to CENVAT on Event Management Services and on Renting of Immovable Property, the latter because the rented premises were not included in the appellant's service tax registration. No show cause notice under Rule 14, CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 was issued to recover the credits. Tribunal relied on settled law that 'unless CENVAT Credit availed by the appellant has not been recovered by way of issue of show cause notice invoking Rule 14 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, the CENVAT Credit available on the books of account cannot be rejected when it is accumulated on account of export of Service.' Since the credits remained on the appellant's accounts and were not disallowed under Rule 14, the orders rejecting refunds were set aside and the original authority directed to allow refunds of the specified amounts.
