Whether VAT is deductible for Valuation of Services?

B. R. Passey (Querist) 22 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
Whether amount of VAT paid/payable is deductible alongwith CENVAT credit of Inputs and Input Services, while computing the value of taxable services of a Composite Works Contract definable under Erection, Commissioning & Installation Services?

Please note that amount of VAT is deductible in computation of Services under Works Contract Services and in the same manner VAT should also be allowed as deductible!

Thanks for prompt reply.

I am concerned about VAT under Commercial Tax (Sales Tax)which is deductible under Works Contract Services considering not a part of Services.
