2015 (12) TMI 1397 - AT - Service TaxDenial of CENVAT Credit - Service tax paid on outward transportation - Held that:- As per the provisions of section 4 (3) (c) of the Central Excise Act, 1944, the place or removal in this case shall be the buyers factory, where the goods are ultimately delivered by the appellant. Reading of the inclusive part of definition of 'input service' makes the position clear that if the place of removal is premises of consumer, then the assessee shall be entitled to cenvat credit of service tax paid on the freight element for movement of goods from the factory to such destination point - if under the terms of the contract, the sale takes place at the destination, then that place will be considered as the place of removal and service tax paid on GTA service for transporting the goods, up to the destination, will be available for Cenvat credit - since the freight amount inclusive of service tax has been charged in the bill and the billed amount was paid by the buyer to the appellant, in my considered opinion, the service tax component on which the appellant took Cenvat credit is forming an integral part of the price of goods. - No merit in impugned order - Decided in favour of assessee.
