Dear Members, 

 

 
Plz clarify on the following...
 
Company used to procure Bulk cement directly from Cement Manufacturing company at a rate Say Rs 500 Per Bag by paying applicable VAT.. The same cement will be issued to contractors for execution of company projects at concessional rate.... say Rs. 300 Per Bag ( Godown Construction, Flooring, & Administrative Building Construction etc).  (The concessional Rate quoted only with a object of keep accountability, use company's cements only)
 
Finally, while preparing contractor bills, cement issued by company will be reduced by raising Debit note at Rs. 300..
 
Now, Department of Commercial Taxes demanding Tax on Cement issued for Contractors....
 
Further to above Plz note.....
 
1) The above transaction falls within the definition of Sale as per Karnataka Vat Act 2003.
 
2) Tax paid on Cement is not eligible to claim as INPUT TAX Credit vide specific exclusion by Fifth Schedule (Section 11(3))
 
 
In this context, please share possible tax plannings if any.....
 
 
Thanks

The taxability depends on the facts of the case. The following are some of the judgements you can refer to get clarity:

  1. In a works contract value of any goods supplied by the contractee to contractor for execution of works contract, cannot be included in the in the taxable turnover of the contractor.Builders Association of India (88 STC 214 (SC).
  2.  Where a contractee supplies goods  to the contractor for use in the works contract for a fixed price to be recovered or adjusted in the bill of the contractor, such supply is sale of the contractor. [Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd V/s State of A.P 1966 102 STC 454 (A.P.) / 1989 72 STC 368 (SC)]
  3. If the materials are supplied free of cost to be used in the works contract, there will be no sale [ONGC V/s CST U. P. 1996 102 STC 466 (All HC) / 1989 75 STC STC 233 (All HC)
  4. Supply of material by contractee to contractor for use in works contract is sale [Cooch Bihar Contractor association V/s State of W.B. 1996 103 STC 477 (SC)

As per section 11 (a) (2) of KVAT Act input credit for fifth schedule goods is not available if such goods are purcahsed and put to use for purposes other than resale or manufacture or any other process of goods for sale. In your case the department is demanding tax on the transaction treating it as sale and hence the restriction under section 11 (a) (2) are not applicable to your case. So in my view you must be entitled to take inpur credit.
