in case of Excise Duty w.e.f. 1st March, 2015 and in case of Service Tax w.e.f. a date to be notified after the enactment of Finance Bill, 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This amendment has raised questions regarding fate of cess, majorly, in following cases:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Closing balance of cess as on 28th February, 2015;<\/li>\n<li>Cess in respect of inputs and capital goods received in factory in F.Y. 2014-15 but CENVAT Credit is omitted to be availed;<\/li>\n<li>Cess in respect of input services received in F.Y. 2014-15 but CENVAT Credit is omitted to be availed;<\/li>\n<li>Deferred cess of Capital Goods received in factory in F.Y. 2014-15;<\/li>\n<li>Cess in respect of Capital Goods received in factory prior to F.Y. 2014-15;<\/li>\n<li>Cess in respect of inputs and capital goods received on or after 1st March, 2015; and<\/li>\n<li>Cess in respect of input services availed on or after 1st March, 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To remove difficulties, Central Government has\u00a0<em>issued Notification No. 12\/2015-CE (NT) dated 30th April, 2015\u00a0<\/em>to provide provisions for utilization of CENVAT Credit of cess for the purpose of payment of Excise Duty in following cases:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Cess paid on inputs or capital goods received in factory on or after 1st March, 2015;<\/li>\n<li>Deferred cess in respect of capital goods received in F.Y. 2014-15;<\/li>\n<li>Cess on input services received on or after 1st March, 2015<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, though Central Government has allowed to utilize CENVAT Credit of cess in three cases mentioned in Para supra; fate of cess in respect of point no. a, b, c, and e is still full of doubts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here, it is pertinent to mention that similar doubts will also arise for Service Providers at the time of applicability of new Service Tax rate. Hope to see similar amendment in <a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/services-vat.php\">CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004<\/a> parallel with introduction of new rate of <a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/services-tax-registration.php\">Service Tax<\/a> to remove scope of difficulty as faced by manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.
