The Reverse charge and the rates to be shared for the 12 services has been enlisted in the notification no 30/2012. Pl. note that there are conditions also that for some sevices,if provided to 'body corporates' by non corporate agencies  only are to be shared .

However,the cenvat credit can be availed if the availed services are eligible as 'input services'.as per Cenvat Credit Rule, 2004,

AI Summary

Reverse charge accounting: record tax liability and claim cenvat credit where input services are eligible. Recipients under the reverse charge must record purchases with tax separated, transfer any shared reverse charge tax to a reverse charge input account, and reclassify that amount to the general input tax account when availing cenvat credit, subject to eligibility of the service as an input service under the Cenvat Credit Rules and notification conditions governing which services attract reverse charge.
