only to the supply chain commencing from the stage of the Cultivator or Producer and extended up to the primary market. It did not include an entire market including further traders and ultimate consumers. Since, in the instant case, the service is not for the supply from Cultivators to the primary market, but from an importer (through availing the handling services of the port company) to the secondary or tertiary market in respect of unprocessed Agricultural produce, few service providers feel exemption may not be applicable in respect of imported goods and pay GST on the services rendered and claim the same from the applicant. The applicant has stated that as per the definition of Agricultural Produce , the restriction of primary market is applicable only in respect of processed Agricultural produce and the restriction is not applicable to unprocessed Agricultural produce. Therefore, as far as wheat is concerned, when there is no processing is carryout out the exemption will cover o

cant avails the services of loading, unloading, storage, etc from various service providers. It is made clear that the applicant do not make any of the supplies in question, but are in fact the recipients of the various supplies as stated in their application.

A. Cletus, Addl. Commissioner (AR) for Revenue ORDER Per Bench The issue involved in all these appeals being the same, they were heard together and are disposed by this common order. The parties herein are referred to as assessee and department for the sake of convenience. 2. The assessees are engaged in execution of contracts for erection, installation of electrical poles for street lights etc. for Government and other local bodies namely Municipalities and Panchayats etc. During audit of accounts, it was observed that the assessee was paying service tax under erection, commissioning or installation services upto 30.6.2007 and from 1.7.2007 they opted to pay service tax under works contract service. It was noticed that while paying service tax under works contract service, they have short-paid service tax to the tune of ₹ 1,64,159/- upto March 2008 and also noted that they stopped paying service tax under works contract service on the ground that the services performed for road

On behalf of the assessee, ld. counsel Shri J.

As per the decision of the Tribunal in the case of Real Value Promoters Ltd. Vs. CCE – 2018-TIOL-2867-CESTAT, Chennai, the demand under erection, commissioning and installation service for composite contracts will not sustain.

e department. 5. After hearing both sides, it is brought to light that the period involved in the present case is July 2007 to September 2011. The demand has been raised in the show cause notice under ECIS. The contract entered between the appellant and the service recipient is a composite contract which involves both supply of materials as well as rendering of service. The Tribunal in the case of Real Value Promoters Ltd. (supra) had occasion to analyse the issue regarding demand of service tax under construction of residential complex services, commercial or industrial construction service and construction of complex service. The Tribunal has held that prior to 1.6.2007, levy of service tax can be under the above categories only for contracts which are purely for services. That after 1.6.2007, the above categories would be applicable only if the contracts are purely services and which are not composite contracts. Further, it was held that after 1.6.2007, demand in respect of composit

x will be levied at only 2 per cent of the total value of the words contract . 7.10 The issue was analyzed by the Hon ble Apex Court in Larsen & Toubro case (supra) and held that there can be no levy of service tax on composite contracts (involving both service and supply of goods) prior to 1.6.2007. This read together with the budget speech as above would lead to the strong conclusion that composite contracts were brought within the ambit of levy of service tax only with effect from 1.6.2007 by introduction of Section 65(105)(zzzza) i.e. Works Contract Services. As pointed out by the ld. counsels for appellants, there is no change in the definition of CICS/CCS/RCS after 1.6.2007. Therefore only those contracts which were service simpliciter (not involving supply of goods) would be subject to levy of service tax under CICS / CCS / RCS prior to 1.6.2007 and after. Our view is supported by the fact that the method / scheme for discharging service tax on the service portion of composi

on of aforesaid services would undergo a change in case of long term contracts even though part of the service was classified under the respective taxable service prior to 1-6-2007. This is because works contract describes the nature of the activity more specifically and, therefore, as per the provisions of Section 65A of the Finance Act, 1994, it would be the appropriate classification for the part of the service provided after that date. 7.12 Thus, for example, while construction of a new residential complex as a service simpliciter would find a place under section 65(105)(30b) of the Act, the same activity as a composite works contract will require to be brought under section 65(105)(zzzza) Explanation (c). For both these categories for the definition of residential complex, the definition given in section 65(105)(91a) will have to be adopted as discussed above will have to be taken into account. 7.13 We find sustenance in arriving at this conclusion by a number of decisions of the

evenue submitted that the respondent were engaged in construction services liable to tax under tax entry Section65(105) (xxq). The grievance of the Revenue is with reference to commercial nature of the construction undertaken by the respondent and not on the correct classification of taxable activity. b. In the case of Skyway Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Service Tax, Mumbai – 2018-TIOL-360-CESTAT-MUM, in respect of identical issue for the period from 2005 to 2012, the Tribunal in para 7 has held as under:- 7. On careful consideration of the submissions made by both the sides, we find that the issue falls for consideration is whether the services rendered by the appellant in respect of 52 contracts entered with various Govt. authorities need to be taxed under MMRC/CICS/ECIS or otherwise. It is on record and undisputed that the adjudicating authority has specifically held that all the 52 contracts which has been executed by the appellants are with material. Learned Counse

so. c. In the case of URC Construction (P) Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Salem – 2017 (50) STR 147, the Tribunal in paragraphs 9, 10 and 11 has held as under:- 9. The Hon ble Supreme Court in re Larsen & Toubro & Ors. has decided thus 24. A close look at the Finance Act, 1994 would show that the five taxable services referred to in the charging Section 65(105) would refer only to service contracts simpliciter and not to composite works contracts. This is clear from the very language of Section 65(105) which defines taxable service as any service provided . All the services referred to in the said sub-clauses are service contracts simpliciter without any other element in them, such as for example, a service contract which is a commissioning and installation, or erection, commissioning and installation contract. Further, under Section 67, as has been pointed out above, the value of a taxable service is the gross amount charged by the service provider for such service r

On the contrary, the submission of the appellant that they had been providing works contract service had been rejected by the adjudicating authority. Therefore, even as the services rendered by them are taxable for the period from 1st June, 2007 to 30th September, 2008 the narrow confines of the show cause notices do not permit confirmation of demand of tax on any service other than commercial or industrial construction service . It is already established in the aforesaid judgment of the Hon ble Supreme Court that the entry under Section 65(105)(zzd) is liable to be invoked only for construction simpliciter. Therefore, there is no scope for vivisection to isolate the service component of the contract. d. In the case of Logos Construction Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise as reported in 2018 (6) TMI 1361, the Tribunal has held as under:- 5.1 The payment upto 01.06.2007 will get extinguished on account of the law that has been laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Larsen

#8377; 82 lakhs under this category after the visit of the departmental officers and therefore an amount of ₹ 36,88,611/- demanded in the impugned order should be considered as having been discharged. We find merit in his argument and hence the demand of ₹ 26,88,611/- under works contract service for the period 01.04.2008 to 30.09.2008 is required to be considered as having been paid, albeit subsequent to the visit of the officers. However, the interest liability if any that arise on this amount if not paid already will have to be discharged by the appellants. So ordered. 8. In the light of the discussions, findings and conclusions above and in particular, relying on the ratios of the case laws cited supra, we hold as under:- a. The services provided by the appellant in respect of the projects executed by them for the period prior to 1.6.2007 being in the nature of composite works contract cannot be brought within the fold of commercial or industrial construction service or

ction of Complex Service, cannot therefore sustain. In respect of any contract which is a composite contract, service tax cannot be demanded under CICS / CCS for the periods also after 1.6.2007 for the periods in dispute in these appeals. For this very reason, the proceedings in all these appeals cannot sustain. 5. Following the above decision, we are of the considered opinion that the demand of service tax under ECIS cannot sustain after the period 1.6.2007. The denial of CENVAT credit on rent-a-cab service being prior to 1.4.2011 is unjustified and the assessees are eligible to avail CENVAT credit on the same. 6. From the discussions made above, we hold that the impugned orders cannot sustain and are set aside. The appeals filed by the assessee are allowed with consequential relief, if any. The appeals filed by Revenue are dismissed. The cross-objections filed by the assessee are disposed accordingly. The miscellaneous application filed by Revenue for change of cause title is allowed

Commissioner of GST & CE Chennai South Versus Redington (India) Ltd.

2018 (11) TMI 1468 – CESTAT CHENNAI – TMI – Business Auxiliary Service – respondents as distributors were receiving 1% volume discount on the total turnover – liability of service tax – Held that:- The important takeaway from the discussions on the differing nature of assessable value, one for the purpose of levy of Central Excise duty and the other for levy of service tax, is that they are two different and distinct entities. This indeed has to be so, since the purpose of levy of central excise duty is to levy tax on production or manufacture of excisable goods in India whereas service tax is a levy on service, which by its very intrinsic nature cannot then be an activity amounting to “manufacture” and subject to Central Excise levy.

A value or consideration undisputedly forming part of assessable value for purposes of levy of central excise duty cannot then be also considered as part of the value of taxable service for levy of service tax. This is in keeping with the fundament

ors for providing reseller sell-through reports as inventory reports on weekly basis to HP. 2. From the foregoing it appeared that respondents as distributors were receiving 1% volume discount on the total turnover made, in respect of HP Products and that this was not a trade or sales discount but a commission for providing HP with strategic market information to enable them to maximize the sales of HP products wherever required. The department was of the view, that respondent were providing Business Auxiliary Service to M/s. HP. Therefore a Show Cause Notice was issued proposing to demand the service tax alongwith interest and for imposing penalties. After due process of law, the original authority dropped the proceedings holding that 1% discount is not consideration received for rendering services and hence not taxable. Aggrieved, the department is now before the Tribunal. 3. The Ld.AR, Sh.S.Govindarajan reiterated the grounds of appeal. He submitted that the findings of the adjudica

y service in relation to promotion or marketing or sale of goods produced or provided by or belonging to the client would fall under the category of Business Auxiliary Service. Therefore when the respondents are furnishing strategic inventory reports on weekly basis, in a format specified by HP, the same is service incidental or auxiliary or promotion or marketing or sale of goods produced by HP and the 1% discount received by the respondents from HP is chargeable to service tax under Business Auxiliary Service. It is submitted that in a similar case involving M/s.HP and the respondent pertaining to the 1% discount offered to the dealer / distributor as in the present case, the CESTAT, Bangalore [2003(162) ELT 399(T)] considered the issue of includibility of the said 1% additional discount paid to the assesse as a distributor / dealer in the assessable value of the excisable goods manufactured by M/s.HP. In the said case, the Hon ble Tribunal held that the reports sent by the dealers,

e distributors for providing reseller sell on the basis of reports and inventory reports submitted to M/s.HP. The adjudicating authority has rightly dropped the proceedings finding that the respondent was neither commission agent nor was rendering any Business Auxiliary Service. The relationship between the respondent and M/s.HP is that of manufacture and buyer and merely because an inventory report is furnished to the manufacturer in regard to the sale of goods, it cannot be said that the appellant has rendered any services to M/s.HP. The decision of the Tribunal, Bangalore rendered in 2003 (162) E.L.T.399 (Tri.-Bang) relied in the grounds of appeal by the department, has held that the 1% discount does not fall in category of permissible discount to be excluded from the assessable value of goods manufactured by HP in terms of Section 4 of Central Excise Act, 1944. For this very same reason, the said discount, if any, has to be included in the assessable value by the manufacturer namel

the principle of equivalence in a sense that consumption of goods and consumption of services are similar as they both satisfy human needs. Today with the technological advancement there is a very thin line which divides a sale from service . That, applying the principle of equivalence, there is no difference between production or manufacture of saleable goods and production of marketable/saleable services in the form of an activity undertaken by the service provider for consideration, which correspondingly stands consumed by the service receiver. It is this principle of equivalence which is inbuilt into the concept of service tax under the Finance Act, 1994. That service tax is, therefore, a tax on an activity. That, service tax is a value added tax. The value addition is on account of the activity which provides value addition, for example, an activity undertaken by a chartered accountant or a broker is an activity undertaken by him based on his performance and skill.

ture and subjected to excise levy and at the same time considered to be a service and subjected to service tax. In fact, the process amounting to manufacture is kept specifically out of the scope of Section 65 (19) of Finance Act, 1994 which prescribes service tax liability on processing of goods not amounting to manufacture. 6.11 It has been consistently laid down by the Tribunal, in a plethora of decisions, that consideration which is subject to payment of excise duty is not liable for payment of service tax liability. Some of such decisions, correctly cited by the Ld. Advocate for respondents, are as under : 1) Allengers Medical Systems Ltd.

) ELT 399 (Tri.-Bang.) and subsequently affirmed by the Hon ble Apex Court on 06.02.2004 [2004 (167) ELT A137 (SC)]. The department should have taken precautionary measures to issue periodical SCNs on the very same issue from time to time pending final decision in the matter. This being the case, we are unable to fathom the how and why of the department having taken a stand contrary to that settled by the Hon ble Apex Court on 06.02.2004 and deemed it proper to issue a SCN taking an antipodal and opposite proposition. Unless the said judgment of the Supreme Court has been further reviewed, or for that matter, the ratio laid down had been overturned by the Hon ble Apex Court itself, which is certainly not the case here, there is no justification for the department to have initiated the impugned proceedings.

d in the transaction. 14. In this connection I take support of the decision of Hon ble CESTAT in the case of M/s.Pratap Singh & Sons Vs Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai-I, as reported in 2007 (5) STR 389 (Tri-Mumbai), wherein it was held as follows : 5. The appellant have purchased and sold from the principals as their distributor. On purchase of the goods, the ownership changes to the appellant and as owner, dealer or transferee of the goods, it was in his own interest to promote the sales activities and to make advertisement and keep the trained salesman and hence, they are part of the dealers job. This cannot be treated as service rendered to the principals namely the manufacturers. If there was any special relationship or additional consideration leading to charging of lower price to the appellant, at the most, it can become an issue relating to valuation of the goods. The discount given by the manufacturer cannot be taken as service charges. The decision of the Commissio

We find merit in these contentions also. 7. From the findings, discussions and conclusions herein above, we hold that the Commissioner has correctly applied the law after appreciating the facts of the case. We find no grounds to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is dismissed. The miscellaneous application for change of cause title filed by department is allowed.

Out of such amount, the petitioner has, by now, paid about ₹ 33.00 Lacs, leaving a residue of about ₹ 64.00 Lacs. According to the petitioner, since it was unable to pay the tax, the Returns could not be filed. 4. The GST authorities, therefore, in exercise of powers under Section 83 of the Gujarat Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 passed the impugned order attaching the petitioner s plant, machinery and stock. 5.

The law permits the authorities to carry out best judgment assessment in case the Returns are not filed. The petitioner shall place before the respondent authorities material regarding its purchases and clearances in order to enable the authority to form the best judgment assessment, if so found necessary.

No. 450/119/2017-cus IV dated 24th October 2018. 1. Exporters are availing the refunds of IGST paid on exports regularly for more than a year now. It has been observed that exporters have committed many errors which have hampered sanctioning of IGST refund. CBIC has introduced several options and alternative mechanisms through which various mismatch errors between the Shipping Bill (SB) and GSTR 1 data can be handled in the system. 2. CBIC has issued circulars 05/2018-Customs dated 23.02.2018, 08/2018-Customs dated 23.03.2018, 15/2018-Customs dated 06.06.2018 and 22/2018-Customs dated 18.07.2018 resp

ther since the same transaction is being reported under GST laws and Customs Act. 3. It may be noted that SBS which have not been scrolled due to the IGST paid amount erroneously declared as 'NA' are already being handled through officer interface as per Board's Circular 08/2018 – Customs dated 23.03.2018. However, no such provision was hitherto available in respect of those SBS which were successfully scrolled, albeit with a lesser than eligible amount. 4. CBIC has been receiving representations where the refund scroll has been generated for a much lesser IGST amount than what has actually been paid against the exported goods. Broadly, this has happened due to: a. Error made by the exporter/CHA in declaring the IGST paid amount in SB or, b, cases where compensation cess paid amount was not entered by the exporter in the SB along With the IGST paid amount or the same details were not transmitted by GSTN, and the scroll consequently got generated only for the IGST amount or,

Once the revised amount is approved by the designated AC/DC in the system, a fresh scroll will be available for generation for the differential amount only. 7. It may be noted that only those SBS which have already been scrolled shall be available in this facility, Further, this facility can be used only once for each eligible SB to sanction the revised IGST amount, Thus, utmost care may be taken by the exporter while submitting the RRR as no further provision will be available for revising the refund sanction again. 8. With this facility, it is hoped that the eligible exporters will come forward for rectification of the mistakes to enable sanction of balance refund
