We are SSI manufacturers diesel engines. Some of our components are bought from SSI vendors on our specific order with our brand name either embossed or casted.

Excise people are demanding excise duty from our vendors because they are using another person brand name.

This is triggered by some Supreme court judgment on brand name issue.

My question to you is whether our vendors need to pay excise duty or not ?

Thanking you in advance.

Kindly advise us what is the penalty levied on late submission of Excise Returns ER-2 and where in the Excise manual we can find the instructions regarding the same.

Please advise

One company is the manufacturer of alluminium foils, He includes outward freight (freight charges paid to transporter for delivery of goods from factory gate to costomer place). He includes outward freight in the invoices and hence the assessable value for the same is also including of outward freight charges. He shows seperately transportation charges on invoices. Please clarify whether freight should be included in assessable value ?. Further my client is eligible for cenvat credit on transportation charges irrespective of consignment/Export/domestic/branch transfers.

If Yes Kindly give me any Notification, Circular,Judgemnets,approval or any other leagul provision (supporting documents)in the rule for approving the above conditions of transaction.

Credit of service tax paid on transporattion facilities used for moving FG from factory to factory depot is available, But what about service tax on GTA used for supply of material to customer at theirt warehouses.
