Cenvat Credit on Commission Service after changes of Cenvat Credit Rules, Service Tax

[Emco Ltd.]

Dear Sir,

With reference to changes in Union Budget 2014 under Notification No. 21/2014-NT Dated 11.07.2014, amended in Rule 4(A) , we should be availed Cenvat Credit Service Tax within a Six Month from date of issue of documents date. The effective date is 01.09.2014.

Our Query is that, while reconcile the GL, we found that One of the Invoice Dated 19.02.2014, we are not availing Cenvat Credit of Service Tax and it would be major amount of Service Tax. And Such Invoice is connected with Commission Service provided to us.

Can we avail Cenvat Credit of Service Tax in the current instant i.e. in the Month of Oct.2014 ? because the amended rules effected from 01.09.2014.

Whether it is right availment of Cenvat Credit or otherwise as per Cenvat Credit Rules ?

Kindly advice in the matter for which we will be act accordingly.

Regards

Amit Parmar

Dear Sir,

Thanks for prompt reply of our query.

As far my knowledge is that there is not clarity in the amended rule 4 that we could not avail Cenvat Credit of Service Tax prior to Invoices of 01.09.2014. I think this rules applicable w.e.f. 01.09.2014.

Kindly advice per return whether any clarity of Rules or otherwise ?

Dear Amit,

Please check Cadila Judgment as CENVAT credit is not allowed on Commission if such commission is related to sale of goods. Please check the facts and revert.
