2017 (10) TMI 881 – MADRAS HIGH COURT – 2017 (6) G. S. T. L. 262 (Mad.) , [2017] 1 GSTL 7 (Mad) – Jurisdiction under GST – determination of rate of IGST on import of goods – Maintainability of petition – alternative remedy of appeal – case of petitioner is that the respondent is neither a proper officer nor an adjudicating authority as defined and contemplated under the CGST Act or the IGST Act – Held that: – a Writ Court cannot make a fact finding exercise to ascertain, which would be an appropriate entry under which the goods are to be classified.

It appears that the petitioner did not dispute the classification as under entry 84329010, but submitted that the correct rate of IGST should be at 12%. The respondent has taken a decision by classifying the goods by fixing the rate of tax at 18% and in support of such conclusion has given certain reasons. Exercising jurisdiction under Article 226, I do not propose to venture into as what would be the appropriate classification of t

ordered re-assessment of the bill of entry No.2544081, dated 21.07.2017. As against the impugned order, the petitioner has an alternate remedy of filing an appeal before the Commissioner of Customs (Appeals), Chennai, under Section 128(1) of the Customs Act, 1962. The petitioner has not availed such remedy and is before this Court challenging the impugned order. 3. Thus, the first hurdle, the petitioner has to across is to convince this Court that despite the existence of an alternate remedy, the petitioner is entitled to challenge the impugned order by way of this Writ Petition. 4. The first contention raised by the petitioner is that the impugned order is wholly without jurisdiction inasmuch as adjudication under the provision of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017, (CGST Act) read with Integrated Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017, (IGST Act), is to be done by a proper officer in terms of Section 2(91) of the CGST Act, or an adjudicating authority as defined under Section 2(4)

f the goods, which was elaborately reiterated by Dr.Krishnanadh. 5. In my considered view, a Writ Court cannot make a fact finding exercise to ascertain, which would be an appropriate entry under which the goods are to be classified. Infact, under the normal course in respect of classification disputes, the High Court cannot entertain an appeal against an order passed by the CESTAT as appeal lies to the Hon'ble Supreme Court in respect of classification issues or matters concerning rate of tax. 6. The impugned order is on request made by the petitioner to furnish a speaking order under Section 17(5) of the Customs Act, 1962. A cursory reading of the impugned order would clearly show that the petitioner submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the respondent in appearing before the respondent and requesting for an order with reasons. In such circumstances, it has to be seen as to whether the plea of lack of jurisdiction now raised by the petitioner is sustainable. The respondent

The difficulties arising out of increased GST on works contracts for Government work was deliberated in the GST Council Meetings held on 20th August 2017 and 9th September 2017.

It is under similar circumstances that the penalty under section 11AC of the Act would attach.

Since October, 2005, the assessee had corresponded with the department on the issue of centralized registration along with which necessary information was furnished about the business of the assessee of compression of natural gas and distribution/sale of CNG from various daughter stations. Even

ral Excise Act, 1944? ii) Whether the Ld. CESTAT is correct by not imposing penalty under Rule 15(2) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 read with Section 11AC of Central Excise Act, 1944 merely on the ground of limitations without considering that the extended period of limitation is available in the facts and circumstances of the case or otherwise? iii) Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case, CESTAT was justified in setting aside the Order in Original passed by the Commissioner and in allowing the appeal filed by M/s Adani Gas Pvt. Ltd.? 2. The issue pertains to extended period of limitation for recovery of unpaid dues of excise and imposition of penalty under section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 read with rule 15(2) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. 3.

gorically stated that all information had been submitted to the range Sept on 07.09.2007. We find that even though the same has been mentioned at paragraph 4.1 of the show cause notice, no contrary eyidence indicating non receipt of the relevant invoices had been brought on record by the revenue. On going through the said letter dt.07.09.2007(page 479 of Appeal paper book) we find that the Appellant had furnished detailed statement of CENVAT credit availed along with copies of invoices. Hence, no facts was suppressed from the department in availing the credit. Therefore, in our view, the demand is barred by limitation. 26. It cannot be denied that the issue of eligibility of CENVAT credit on capital goods inputs and input services availed at various daughter stations, from where the CNG was ultimately cleared/sold during course of pendency of application for centralised registration, rests on interpretation of the relevant provisions of law and all facts had been disclosed to the depar

of willful misstatement, suppression of fact or in contravention of the provisions of the Rules, evaded payment of central excise duty. He was not even sure whether this was a case of willful misstatement or suppression of fact or contravention of provisions of the Rules. 27. In view of the above decision of Hon'ble Gujarat High Court, penalty under section 11Ac of Central Excise Act, 1944 read with Rule 15(2) of CENVAT Credit Rules 2004 is not attracted. 4. From the factual findings recorded by the Tribunal, it can be seen that since October, 2005, the assessee had corresponded with the department on the issue of centralized registration along with which necessary information was furnished about the business of the assessee of compression of natural gas and distribution/sale of CNG from various daughter stations. Even the intention of availing CENVAT credit was made clear to the department as early as on 27.02.2007. With respect to subsequent show cause notice, the Tribunal noted

enefit of input tax credit has been passed on by the registered person to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices.

business may be too harsh and even unconstitutional. There could also be disputes on undue profiteering may not actually be so as there would be other costs / overheads which may set off the profit, if any, accruing from GST efficiency. It will also add to disputes and litigation. Time period of Provision Rule 138 on anti-profiteering measures shall have a sunset clause. The rules framed for anti-profiteering indicate that it would operate for a period of only two years. Thus, it would cease to exist after two years of being in force. Caution Note APA is expected to take up cases or complaints of mass consumption or importance and may not look into small cases. However, no monetary threshold has been fixed for taking up cases for scrutiny. It may be noted that the anti-profiteering measure in GST law is meant to be a deterrent and is an enabling clause so that reduction in tax incidence due to the GST is passed on to the consumers. This is a contentious provision which should be trigge

nce on goods and services. GST rates have been fixed with the objective of maintaining revenue neutrality in the post GST regime. Many business entities have reduced the prices of their goods and services in view of lower GST rates and also announced this publicity. To conclude, it can be said that the anti profiteering provision should be enforced in rare case as a exception, rather than rule and should not become a hindrance in free business environment and as a tool to invite corruption.
