“output service” means any taxable service rendered by the service provider to a customer, client, subscriber, policy holder or any other person, as the case may be; “input service” means any taxable service received and consumed by a service provider in relation to rendering of output service; Service tax credit.- (1) An output service provider shall be allowed to take credit (herein referred to as service tax credit) of the service tax paid on such input services, which fall in the same category of taxable service as that of output service, for which invoice/bill is issued on or after sixteenth day of August 2002. Though Service Tax and Central Excise Department continue to slap notices for denial of CENVAT credit of service tax paid on services used in business; the credit is undoubtedly admissible. Rule 2 (l) of CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 as amended defines “input service” as under: “input service” means any service,- (i) used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service; or (ii) used by the manufacturer, whether directly or indirectly, in or in relation to the manufacture of final products and clearance of final products, upto the place of removal, and includes services used in relation to setting up, modernization, renovation or repairs of a factory, premises of provider of output service or an office relating to such factory or premises, advertisement or sales promotion, market research, storage upto the place of removal, procurement of inputs, activities relating to business, such as accounting, auditing, financing, recruitment and quality control, coaching and training, computer networking, credit rating, share registry, and security, inward transportation of inputs or capital goods and outward transportation upto the place of removal;” Thus input service includes services used in activities relating to business. Though some examples have been given in the above said definition by specifying some of the activities “such as accounting, auditing, financing, recruitment and quality control, coaching and training, computer networking, credit rating, share registry, and security” ; the said specified activities do merely denote some activities related to business which is only illustrative and not exhaustive and the scope and definition of the terms “in relation to” and “as such” is very wide and connotes all the activities related to business.
