Perfectly replied...

Dear Mr.Mukund and Mr.Sanjay.

Thanks for reproducing copy of Notification.

Please suggest:-

A.Whether a manufacture can avail cenvat of KKC paid :-

1. On Input services to service providers.

2. On services under reverse charges to Govt.account.

B.Whether Rebate can be claimed on KKC paid on services used for export of goods.

Urgent please.

Sir, the input credit of KKC is not allowed to manufacturer to set-off against central excise duty payable. And also no credit is allowed of the KKC paid under reverse charge mechanism. Further, the KKC paid on input services are eligible for claiming rebate. This is my view. Thanks.

Thanks Sri Mukund Ji, for reproducing the Notification. Thanks.

I endorse the views of Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani, Sir on all aspects. I further elaborate that if a manufacturer is also registered as Service Provider, Service Tax paid on KKC can be utilised for providing output service. Input service credit earned on KKC can be utilised towards KKC only and not towards any other cess or duty.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Yes sir a manufacturer in addition to manufacturing also provides Service, say for e.g. if it has a Vacant land it gives it on rent then it is taxable under renting of immovable property. OR in head office if it has ample space and it decides to let out some portion of the area to other dealer then it amounts to renting of immovable property. Thus those manufacturer can avail the input credit on KKC against the KKC output liability. But only if has nexus. Thanks.
