It would be a historic moment as post independence it is only the 2 nd or 3 rd time that a tax matter has been referred to such a large bench. The stake of The Government is very high! As we await the decision, we will take you through the various questions which are before the Apex Court in the matter - 1. Whether the Levies of Entry Tax have to be tested with reference to both clauses (a) and (b) of Article 304 of the Constitution. Whether the use of the word Zavd[ etweev lauses ~a avd ~ of Article 304 makes these two clauses conjunctive. 2. Whether imposition of Entry Tax levied in terms of Entry 52 List II of 7th Schedule is violative of Article 301 of the Constitution? If the answer is in the affirmative whether such levy can be protected if Entry Tax is compensatory in character and what are the yardsticks to be applied to determine the compensatory character of the Entry Tax 3. Whether Entry 52, List II, 7th Schedule of the Constitution like other taxing entries in the Schedule, merely provides a taxing field for exercising the power to levy and whether collection of Entry tax which ordinarily would be credited to the Consolidated Fund of the State being a revenue received by the Government of the State and would have to be appropriated in accordance with law and for the purposes and in the manner provided in the Constitution as per Article 266. 4. Whether the non discriminatory indirect State Tax which is capable of being passed on and has been passed on by traders to the consumers infringes Article 301 of the Constitution In Service Tax, in a Landmark Decision in the case of Suresh Kumar Bansal Vs. Union of India & Ors; Anuj Goyal & Ors Vs. Union of India & Ors 2016-VIL-284-DEL-ST , The Hov[le Delhi High Court has held that No service-tax shall be levied on sale of under- construction flats if contract price includes value of land. Further, preferential location charges do not amount to service and cannot be charged to service tax. This judgment is indeed a game changer for the real estate sector, wherein Service tax is levied on any part of the consideration received prior to completion certificate, as the same is treated as rendering of services. However, undoubtedly the Revenue would take up the uatter to the Hov[le “upreue Court avd it would be interesting to see how the matter dwells & get deided ￿the Hov[le Ape￿Court. Further in Service Tax, In the Budget 2016-17, the levy of Service Tax on all the services rendered by Senior Advocate was kept outside the ambit of Reverse Charge Mechanism and the Senior Advocate were required to pay Service tax on the services rendered by them. However vide Notification No. 32/2016 & Notification No. 33/2016, the effect of the said amendment has been more or less nullified. Just to reiterate that we remain available over a telecom or e-mail. Truly Yours Timir Baran Chatterjee M.Com, FCS, MBA (International Business)-IIFT, ACMA Vivek Jalan FCA, CIDT (ICAI), B.

CASE LAW MEGA CABS PRIVATE LIMITED VERSUS UNION OF INDIA [DELHI HIGH COURT] BRIEF: Service Tax audit cannot be conducted by the Service Tax Department or CAG OUR COMMENTS : In the above case, the Additional Commissioner (Audit) issued a letter to the assessee seeking information for conducting audit of the records under Rule 5A of ST Rules, 1994. The assessee contended that although Rule 5A(2) permits any officer of the Department or an audit party deputy by the Commissioner or the CAG to ask for production of books of accounts , Section 72A of the Finance Act only contemplates a special audit to be done by a Assessee on direction of the Commissioner, Cost Accountant or a Chartered Accountant. Also, it was held in various cases that subordinate legislation must conform to the provisions of the statute and must be within the scope of the rule making power of the authority. The Hon’le High Court held that - Rule 5A(2) of the Service Tax Rules,, to the extent it authorises the officers of the Service Tax Department, the audit party deputed by a Commissioner or the CAG to seek production of the documents as ultra vires the Finance Act and, therefore, struck it down to that extent; - Circular No. 181/7/2014-ST dated December 10, 2014 which provides for scrutiny of records by the said officers to be ultra vires the Finance Act and was struck down - CBEC circular dated 27.02.2015 which ovteuplated the Departuevt[s offiers themselves undertaking the audit., as ultra vires the Finance Act, as they do not have any statutory backing and cannot be relied upon by the Department to legally justify the audit undertaken by officers of the Service Tax Department. The impugned Letter addressed to the assessee was accordingly quashed [Decided in favour of assessee] CENTRAL TAXES TAX CONNECT – 72 nd Issue JAV & ASSOCIATES (12 Jun 2016 – 18 Jun 2016) Page 8 Chartered Accountants CENTRAL EXCISE CASE LAWS M/S. SUMETCO ALLOYS PVT. LTD. VERSUS CCE, JAIPUR [CESTAT NEW DELHI] BRIEF: Amount paid during investigation cannot be considered as payment of duty, hence, the provisions of section 11B and the time limit prescribed therein will have no application for refunding such amount. OUR COMMENTS: In the above case, the assessee paid an amount during the course of investigation conducted by the preventive wing. Later, the assessee filed claim application before the appropriate authority in a plain letter-form without mentioning any statutory provisions therein. The authorities assumed that the claim has been filed under section 11B and rejected the claim being time barred as per the time limit prescribed under the section. The Hov[le CESTAT held that if the duty is paid with regard to the removal of excisable goods from the factory, then the provisions of section 11B of the Act will have the application, however, in the given case the amount paid is not attributable to clearance of finished product from the factory. The amount is a mere deposit, hence, for claiming refund of such amount, the provisions of section 11B will have no application. The impugned order dismissing the appeal was set aside. [Decided in favour of assessee] RAKO MERCANTILE TRADERS VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF CENTRAL EXCISE, LUCKNOW [CESTAT ALLAHABAD] BRIEF: Just because, the freight amount was not mentioned separately in the excise invoice, but separately in a commercial invoice, it cannot be included in the transaction value for imposing the excise duty. OUR COMMENTS : The assessee is a manufacturer of paints and varnishes who supplied goods to Railways only. He collected freight charges from different buyers without incorporating them in the invoices. He use to put seal on each container of the goods and use to issue GR in the name of railways. The Revenue contended that the freight charges though not presented in invoice, was recovered separately, therefore, are includable for arriving at the assessable value in terms of Section 4 of the Central Excise Act, 1944 read with Rule 5 of the Central Excise Valuation (Determination of Price of Excisable Goods) Rules, 2000. The H on’le CE“TAT held that as per Rule 5, ^ the value of excisable goods shall be deemed to be the transaction value, excluding the cost of transportation from the place of removal up to the place of delivery of such excisable goods provided the cost of transportation is charged to the buyer in addition to the price for the goods and shown separately in the invoice for such excisable goods." The assessee, though has not shown the freight separately in the invoice, but has presented the contract/purchase order with the railways which indicates freight charges as 3/- per liter. Also, for each consignment there is a corresponding GR which indicates the freight amount. Further, a separate commercial invoice is raised for freight corresponding to the purchase order. This commercial invoice indicates the value and freight amount separately. Only because the freight amount was not indicated separately in the excise invoice, is not sufficient ground to deny the substantive benefit. The law does not require charging of duty on freight for technical lapse of not indicating the freight charges separately on the excise invoice.

It means lot of money provided the benefits are not passed on to the customers. It is expected that the country's GDP will increase by 2% on implementation of GST.
