GST on Foreign Tours: Personal Use Excluded from CENVAT Credit; Business-Related Travel May Qualify for Credit. A query was raised about the applicability of GST on foreign tours and the eligibility to claim CENVAT credit. One response clarified that due to changes in the Finance Bill 2011, travel benefits primarily for personal use are excluded from service tax, thus disqualifying them from CENVAT credit. Another response indicated that CENVAT credit could be claimed if the foreign travel is demonstrably connected to business or business promotion activities.
