Service tax credit on outward freight remains legally uncertain before regulatory clarification, hinging on facts and timing of credit.
Service tax credit for outward freight beyond the place of removal was disallowed after the April 2008 clarification. Prior to that, the position was unsettled and required judicial scrutiny, with outcomes depending on the facts, when credit was taken and the period covered by any show cause notice; existing decisions varied by case-specific circumstances.
