Sir, KKC liability cannot be adjusted with SBC. And credit of KKC is allowed to service provider only.

Sh.Ajit Shankar Ji,

I endorse the views of Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani, Sir.

it is made clear by taxing authorities that inter-adjustment of service tax, KKB or SB Cess is not to be allowed under any circumstances. in fact, such adjustments would make assessee liable to penal action as NON-PAYEE OF KK Cess.

AI Summary

Inter-cess adjustment prohibition: adjustment between different cesses is not allowed and may attract penal consequences. Adjustment between different cesses (including KK Cess, SB Cess and service tax) is not permitted and may attract penalties; inter-adjustments among service tax, KK Cess and SB Cess are disallowed. Credit of KK Cess is available only to the service provider and KK Cess liabilities are not fungible with other cess or service tax credits.
