Dear Sirs / Madam

We are an export unit

going for expansion of factory building

the construction contract is given to a builder

Builder is charging service tax @ 40% of the construction value @14.5%

Question : whether this service tax credit can be taken as input credit of other out put services performed within India

if not , whether we can apply for refund against the export to be made out of the new factory

Kindly give your views

With regards

Dear Govindaraj Kolappan

The phrase Setting Up of Factory had been removed long back w.e.f. 2011 from the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 as amended from time to time. Hence, no refund or CENVAT credit on such services would be available. This will form the part of CIVIL Construction and on Gross value on depreciation would be available under section 32 of the Income tax Act.

Whereas CCR 2004 restricts the cenvat credit of input & input services used in construction activity, still there as so many judgements wherein appellate authority have held eligibility of credit of construction activity. The recent case on above may be referred in 2016 (2) TMI 417 - CESTAT MUMBAI Nirlon Ltd. Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai. What significance does exclusion clause in CCR have in light of such judgements ?

Despite this judgement of CESTAT,Mumbai availment of credit on this issue is prone to litigation. I endorse the views of M/s.YAGAY AND SUN, Sirs and SH.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN, Sir.

Please see the disputed period in the case law cited by CS Rahul Agarwal is between April 2007 to March 2009.

SH.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN JI,

Yes, Sir. Period is always very crucial. Moreover, facts and circumstances of each are not always the same. Mostly these differ and one has to be very careful and alert while apply any judgment.

7. Works contract service is a favourite subject for the department. They attack the said service first when they come for audit. Of course the amount involved is considerably high which attracts the attention of the auditor. Hence it is always advisable not to take credit when it is not defined in the Cenvat credit rules. Thanks.
