Company's Cenvat Credit on Service Tax for Off-Premises Erection Disallowed; Differing Opinions on Eligibility and Refund A company involved in manufacturing engineering products faced an audit objection regarding Cenvat credit claimed on service tax for erection activities conducted outside its premises. The audit argued that since the erection was not part of the manufacturing process, the service tax credit was disallowed. Respondents in the forum provided differing views: one suggested that if input services are used for output services, credit should not be denied unless abatement is claimed. Another agreed with the audit, stating that the service was unrelated to manufacturing. The final response clarified that the contractor should pay the service tax, and the company should reverse the credit and seek a refund. (AI Summary)
