13 August 2013 1) In this case possession and control is transferred to the company. Hence VAT attracts under the respective state as deemed sales under 'right to use' of goods.

2) As a corollary to the above, clause (f) of section 66E of the Finance Act,1994 doesn't attract hence service tax can't be levied w.e.f 1.7.2012.
