uore are required to pass the bill before it goes for presidential ascent. As we have already said in the past that GST is not just a change in tax, it is expected to have a far reaching impact on each facet of business operations in the country such as pricing of products and services, supply chain optimization, IT, accounting and tax compliance systems. It will impact the tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax payment, compliance, credit utilization and reporting, leading to a complete overhaul of the current indirect tax system. If proper GST structure is established, it is estimated that the corporates can reduce their material cost by 2-5 % and logistic cost by 10 -15%. Hence to reap the benefits, it could be a good idea to start GST Implementation from now!

JAIPUR-II [CESTAT NEW DELHI] BRIEF: The activity of repair and maintenance of plant and machinery is an activity which has direct nexus with manufacture of final products and the goods used in this activity would be eligible for Cenvat Credit. OUR COMMENTS : In the above case, the issue is whether the assessee is entitled to avail Cenvat Credit on duty paid on various items like lining plates, HRCS lifters, coolers, etc. used in the Clinker and Hammer, etc., which are used by the assessee for replacement, repair and maintenance of their Clinker and other machines. The Hon’ble CE“TAT found that the above issue is no more res integra and stands decided by various High Courts. It was held that: ^ Repairs and maintenance of plant and machinery is an activity without which smooth manufacturing is not possible. Commercially, manufacturing activity is not possible with malfunctioning machines, and leaking tanks, pipes and tubes. Therefore, the activity of repair and maintenance of plant and machinery is an activity which has direct nexus with manufacture of final products and the goods used in this activity would be eligible for Cenvat Credit. For eligibility of an input for Cenvat Credit what is relevant is whether the activity in which that input is used has nexus with the manufacture of final product and the nexus has to be determined on the basis of criteria as to whether that activity is commercially essential for manufacture of the final products ._ The following cases of the Tribunal may be referred: Panipat Co-operative Sugar Mills Ltd.

Vide this publication, we have made an attempt to cover in detail all issues related to Service Tax: Valuation, Point of Taxation, Place of Taxation, Abatement, Reverse Charge, Input Tax Credit Mechanism & VAT: Contractual Transfer Price, Modes of Valuation, WIP, STDS as well as GST . We have also focused on the issues faced by various sectors on account of Works Contract. This book is divided into Sev en Parts covering several broad areas. Each area has the provisions directly from the Statue in the beginning and detailed discussions on the provisions in the form of questions and answers thereafter. Since litigations on the subject have been manifold, we have also covered judicial pronouncements extensively.
