Service tax & excise duty setoff, Service Tax

[Mukund Honkan]

1. If  a company is having different locations providing taxable services under Service tax whether Service tax registration is separate for each state?
2. Can we claim  Service tax input against excise output  & vice versa ?
3. Can we claim sevice tax input at one state against excise output at another state

 Pl. let us know with supporting sections regards Mukund M Honkan

Replies to your queries:-

1. In this scenario you may opt for Centralized Registration Certificate from Service Tax Department.
2. Yes, it is allowed and can be used interchangeably.
3. No, it is not allowed since the R.C.No. is issued unit wise depending on the PAN.
