CENVAT Credit Not Allowed with 70% Abatement on GTA and Rent-a-Cab; Specific Conditions for Works Contracts An anonymous user inquired about the eligibility of availing CENVAT credit after taking a 70% abatement on service tax for services like GTA, works contracts, and rent-a-cab. Responses indicated that CENVAT credit cannot be claimed simultaneously with abatement for GTA and rent-a-cab. For works contracts, there are specific conditions. It was clarified that manufacturers paying freight for inward and outward goods can avail CENVAT credit on GTA services after abatement. A storage outlet, if providing storage and warehousing services, can also claim CENVAT credit on GTA services post-abatement, based on specific notifications. (AI Summary)
