Can I Adjust Excise Duty with Service Tax? Understanding the Rules and Guidelines

Hi,

I want to know if I can adjust excise duty with service tax. If we can adjust excise duty with service tax, then what rules should we follow?

If you have paid excise duty on the inputs used by you in making/providing the final services on which you have to pay service tax or have availed services of some consultants or other parties and have paid service tax on it and are liable to pay excise duty on the final goods produced by your organization, you can avail CENVAT credit for them.

CENVAT credit is available for service tax and excise duty paid.
