ORDER
Per Bench
Brief facts are that the respondents are engaged in providing advertising services by displaying the advertisement of their clients on bus back panels, bus shelters etc., after obtaining permission from MTC, TNSTC and Southern Railway. They obtained service tax registration under the category of Advertising Agency Service. During the course of audit of the accounts of the respondents, for the period from October and November 2009, it was noticed that the respondents had short-paid service tax during the period from October 2008 to February 2009 an

he half-year ending 31.3.2009 declared the taxable value lesser than that was actually received by them. It was further noticed that they had not discharged service tax liability for the period July 2009 to October 2009. They had not paid the service tax within the prescribed dates for the period from September 2008 to October 2009 and had not paid appropriate interest for such belated payment. This would show that the respondent is guilty of suppression of facts with intention to evade payment of duty. The adjudicating authority has failed to take note of these facts of suppression and imposed penalty only under section 76 of the Finance Act, 1994. He prayed that the impugned order may be interfered with by imposing penalty under section 78 of the Act ibid.
3. None appeared for the respondent though notices were issued for hearing.
4. The matter is taken up for disposal after hearing the ld. AR and on perusal of records.
5. The grievance of the department is that the adjudicating a

We have given our anxious consideration to the argument put forward by the ld. AR. After the amendment with effect from 10.5.2008, last proviso to section 78 states that if penalty is payable under such section, the provisions of section 76 shall not apply. Therefore, the penalties under sections 76 and 78 are mutually exclusive. When the adjudicating authority has considered and imposed penalty under section 76, the same cannot be set aside by the Tribunal in an appeal filed by department requesting to impose penalty under Secction78. There is no ground stated in this appeal contending that penalty imposed under Section 76 is erroneous. The Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise Vs. Sai Consulting Engineering Ltd. – 2018 (15) GSTL 708 (Guj.) has held that simultaneous penalties under Section 76 as well as 78 of the Finance Act cannot be imposed. Similar view is taken in Care and Cure (P) Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Central Excise, Chandigarh – 2015 (38) S

Real estate sector is one of the largest contributors to the national GDP and provides employment opportunity to large numbers of people. “Housing for All by 2022” envisions that every citizen would have a house and the urban areas would be free of slums. There are reports of slowdown in the sector and low off-take of under-construction houses which needs to be addressed. To boost the residential segment of the real estate sector, following recommendations were made by the GST Council in its 33rd meeting held today:
2. GST rate:
i. GST shall be levied at effective GST rate of 5% without ITC on residential properties outside affordable segment;
ii. GST

The new tax rate in principle was approved by the Council taking into consideration the following advantages:-
i. The buyer of house gets a fair price and affordable housing gets very attractive with GST @ 1%.
ii. Interest of the buyer/consumer gets protected; ITC benefits not being passed to them shall become a non-issue.
iii. Cash flow problem for the sector is addressed by exemption of GST on development rights, long term lease (premium), FSI etc.

A company is setting up its manufacturing plant where in power supply by way of supplying and installation of various electric cable connection from main station outside factory premises to company sub station is required from state government. State government instructed company that company can itself set up this electric installation from thier nominated vendor but ultimate ownership of such electric installation (Assets) will remain with state government.
Now question is whether company can claim ITC of such electric installation which mainly constist of supplying and installing various electric cables?
Whether ownership of such electric installation will remain with state govenment and not with compnay, will it have any impact on ITC eligibility?

related services be used for any purpose other than for transmission and distribution of electricity. The principal supply and the related/ancillary services go hand in hand and one cannot be provided independent of the other. The upshot of this discussion is that the services provided by the petitioner are in the nature of composite supply and therefore, in view of the provisions of clause (a) of section 8 of the CGST Act, the tax liability thereof has to be determined by treating such composite same as a supply of the principal supply of transmission and distribution of electricity. Consequently, if the principal supply of transmission and distribution of electricity is exempt from levy of service tax, the tax liability of the related services shall be determined accordingly."
In view of above, can we say that such installation is ancillary service provided?

No doubt yours is a manufacturing company but here is a question of what nature of service you are supplying/providing. In my view (based on various case laws), it is a works contract service which you are providing to State Govt. and no exemption is available to you. Now is the question of vendor's service. The vendor is working for you. In other words, we can say that that person is your job worker. So the vendor's service is also of the nature of service being provided by you. His service an integral part of the works contract service being provided. In Works Contract Service, ITC is available if utilised in providing the same output taxable service.So you can avail ITC on the strength of invoice to be issued by y

The primary responsibility of laying of cable was of state government. SG authorised the company to purchase cable and install it on behalf of SG. The ownership shall rest with the SG.
The SG shall be required to bill the company including the cost of cabling (covered by section 15(2)(b)). Cost of cable though incurred by company shall be included in the value of supply of SG.
Applying the ratio of Torrent Power, the supply from SG to company shall be exempt supply. Being exempt, ITC should not be availed by company, though the bill in the name of company entitles it to avail ITC.
IMO in case the ownership does not rest with SG, section 15(2)(b) shall not be applicable since it can be presumed that SG has only installed the meter and cable was

Free of Cost Supply – Valuation Implications

Free of Cost Supply – Valuation Implications

Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 23-2-2019

In this article the author aims to enlighten its readers about the inclusion or non-inclusion of value of FOC material provided by the buyer/service receiver to the seller/service provider.2017
Statutory provisions related to valuation are principally carved out in the Section 15 of the CGST Act 2017. The relevant portion of the said provisions related to the concept clarified hereunder is mentioned as under:-
“Section 15 Value of taxable supply
(1)
(2) The value of supply shall include –
(a) ………………..
(b) any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply but which has been incurred by the recipient of the supply and not included in the price actually paid or payable for the goods or services or both;

omponent manufacturer (the two being not related persons or distinct persons) on FOC basis dose not constitute a supply as there is no consideration involved. Further, since the moulds and dies are provided on FOC basis by the OEM to the component manufacturer in the course or furtherance of his business, there is no requirement of reversal of input tax credit availed on such moulds and dies by the OEM.
1.2 It is further clarified that while calculating the value of the supply made by the component manufacturer, the value of moulds and dies provided by the OEM to the component manufacturer of FOC basis shall not be added to the value of such supply because cost of moulds/dies was not to be incurred by the component manufacturer and thus, does not merit inclusion in the value of supply in terms of section 15(2)(b) of the CGST Act 2017.
1.3 However, if the contract between OEM and component manufacturer was for supply of components made by using the moulds/dies belonging to the compone

er form the third party are ultimately supplied to the receiver for which tax invoice was raised and GST had been charged. Thus the absolute ownership of the tools gets transferred to the OEM. However, the physical possession of the tool remains with the applicant during manufacturing process or till the time they are removed by the receiver form the premised of the supplier.
Having regard to the clarification issued by the department as mentioned above and in the facts we need to ascertain the contractual obligation to provide tools in terms of the contract executed between the supplier and the receiver. Once it is established that the obligation to provide tools on FOC basis is on the receiver then the question of adding the amortized value for tools supplied by the receiver does not arise. Conclusively, in the given facts of the case the supplier is not required to add value of tools while calculating value of its principle supply of manufacturing of the product under Section 15(2)

In view of this provision if a supplier makes supply of both goods and services under composition scheme, he can make supply of service upto 10% of the turnover (of what turnover of goods or turnover of both goods and services-not clear from the wordings employed by the legislature) during previous financial year.

preserved properly. The composition scheme eliminates all the requirement. It reduces the cost of compliance. Further, GSTR-2A reconciliation is also not required to these person. Lot of headache is gone in matching the purchase shown in books vs sales uploaded by the vendor. Going ahead the buyer has to call the vendor and ask him to show the sales in GSTR-1 in B2B with proper GSTIN. The call centre type of work will increase in the business. Also, to claim credit the vendors needs to be withing 180 days. The payment tracking is also important to justify claims. Hence, the composition scheme is lucrative. Otherwise as said by collegue expert composition scheme is not beneficial.

Thank you so much for clarifying amendment of Composition Scheme.
One more Clarity is require for followings:-
Case- if dealers are supplying of goods, running canteen and providing service of courier in previous year.
Query:-
1. What are the rate applicable in case dealer want to opt Composition from 1.4.2019 ? whether Separate rate is applicable for canteen (5%) ? or single rate of entire turnover (1% ).
2 Sec-10(1)''For complying of Condition of up to 10% of total turnover or 5 Lacs'', Canteen supply is also consider as Service or excluding Canteen ?

A Business entity spends on interior including false ceiling and the service provider charges GST on works contract. The building is owned by the business entity. Is it eligible to take input credit of GST paid or interior including false ceiling.
Will situation be different if the building is rented premises.

GST ON SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

GST ON SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
By: – Dr. Sanjiv Agarwal
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 22-2-2019

In general parlance, there are many products which are used as cosmetics or soaps which may have medicinal relevance or considered as 'Ayurvedic' in nature. 'Ayurvedic' is one discipline of medicine just like allopathy or homeopathy.
The issue of classification came up before the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) of West Bengal in the matter of Akansha Hair & Skin Care Herbal Unit Pvt. Ltd. 2018 (4) TMI 811 – AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULING , WEST BENGAL ; . However, this ruling has since been modified by Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling, West Bengal.
In the instant case, there was a manufacture of skin care preparations and issue was of classification of 33 such products. It was claimed that its skin care preparations are Ayurvedic Medicaments. They are meant for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in packaging for retail sale and entirely correspond to the des

classification. The remaining products mentioned in the list submitted by them are not offered primarily as medicaments and, therefore, not to be included under Heading 3004. This ruling is valid subject to the provisions under Section 103(2) until and unless declared void under Section 104(1) of the GST Act.
It was also observed that medicaments are not defined under GST law or Customs Tariff applicable for goods classification in GST law. Further, for classification of skin care products as medicament, it is not sufficient that such a product manufactured as per authoritative text book, merely helps in controlling skin disease. Its curative or preventive value must be substantial, and product must be manufactured primarily to control or cure a skin-related disease. Further, it must he established that consumers use it primarily for treatment, mitigation, cure or prevention of specific skin disease or skin disorder. Since most of skin care preparations have both uses i.e. medicinal

"Preparations for the care of the skin namely, Rupam (Pimple Pack) and Pailab (Anti-Crack Cream), in the list submitted by the Applicant are classifiable as Medicament under Heading 3004 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Preparations listed as Swarnajyoti, Sunayana and Tarumitra-60 have not yet come into existence, and, therefore, no rulings are pronounced on their classification. The remaining products mentioned in the list submitted by them are not offered primarily as medicaments and, therefore, not to be included under Heading 3004."
It was held that to determine whether or not a product or a formulation is to be labelled as a 'medicament', it is necessary to consider its efficacy in treating or remedying an 'injury', an 'ailment' or an 'illness'.
