Manufacturer Seeks Guidance on Claiming CENVAT Credit for Service Tax on GTA, Jobwork, Testing, and Phone Charges A manufacturer of valves and fittings inquired about claiming CENVAT credit for service tax paid under the reverse charge mechanism on GTA services, jobwork, testing, and telephone charges. An expert advised that CENVAT credit can be availed if the transporter does not claim CENVAT credit on inputs and if the charges are included in the assessable value of the finished goods. For telephone charges, CENVAT credit is permissible. The inquirer was directed to the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 for further guidance. (AI Summary)
