TAX UPDATES MARCH 2011CA. Chythanya K.K., B.com, FCA, LL.B., Advocate

VAT, CST, ENTRY TAX,PROFESSIONAL TAX

PARTS DIGESTED:

a) 2010-11(15) KCTJ Part 11 & 12

b) 38 VST – Part 3 to 5

c) 39 VST – Part 1

Reference/Description

[2011] 38 VST 488 (Ker) HC:Cheerans Auto Agencies v. State ofKeralaIn the instant case an exchange melawas conducted by a dealer engagedin the sale of two wheelers. Oldvehicles of customers were purchasedat a price fixed by broker who wasarranged by the dealer. The price ofthe old vehicle was reduced from theprice of the new vehicle purchased bythe customer. There was no privity ofcontract between the customer and thebroker. The Kerala High Court notedthat the transaction as between thebroker and dealer was not relevant.The Court held that the dealer wasliable to declare and pay tax on thepurchase and sale of old vehicles. TheCourt noted that failure to do sowould amount to evasion of tax.It isan important case for dealers whowould promote exchange sales andsuch dealers would do well toremember that such exchange wouldmean purchase by them of goods fromURDs. Such purchase may beexigible to purchase tax.

[2011] 38 VST 501 (Guj) HC:Gopal Rayon Industries Pvt. Ltd. v.State of Gujarat and OthersIn the instant case the Petitioner hadmade payment of Entry Tax under theForm meant for payment of Value

Added Tax, however the fact of thesame was clearly stated therein thatthe amount paid was towards EntryTax and the counterfoils of the samewere deposited regularly withdepartment. In such a case the GujaratHigh Court held that the departmentwas not entitled to treat the entire taxas not paid and the dealer as in default.The Court set aside the assessmentOrder and held that the demand forthe entire tax with interest and penalty,attachment of bank account andrefusal to grant input tax credit by theDepartment was unwarranted. TheCourt further while directing theDepartment to refund of the sums paidunder the wrong Form and alsodirected the dealer to pay the tax withthe correct Form.This ubiquitoushigh-handedness of the Departmentsometimes leads to farcical/ludicrousactions on their part – blinded by theself-clothed cloak of power, theirthought process is mired. Thedirection of the Hon. High Court tomollify the Department’s pedanticapproach with the instruction torectify the defect with the usage of thecorrect Forms seems to be the olivebranch for the belligerentDepartment!

[2011] 39 VST 44 (All) HC:A.C.P.L. Jewels Private Ltd. v. Unionof India and othersIn the instant case the Allahabad HighCourt dealing with the matter of stocktransfer/goods returned and the non-availability of Form F, while relyingon the judgement of the Apex Courtin Ambica Steels [2009] 24 VST 356,held that where the State (s) is/are,issuing Form F, the assessee would be

provided Form F for makingassessment; where however Form Fwas not being issued by the State(s),it would be open for the assessingofficer to complete the reassessmentproceedings on its own merits afterexamining the transaction betweenthe parties, keeping in mind thecircumstance that the assessee was notin a position to obtain the Form F, forno fault of his.Procedural lapses/adherence should/could neverestablish a factual aspect of a case.The acts have intents and purposeswhich cannot be gauged by theabsence/presence of certainprocedural document. A document byno means can be the sole criteria toestablish the intents and purposes ofan act.

[2011] 331 ITR 449 (P&H) [FB] HC:CIT v. Varindera Construction Co.In the instant case the High Courtdecided on the extent of applicabilityof Circular F.No. 279/Misc. 56/07/-ITJ dt. June 5, 2007, with regard tothe monetary limits applicable forappeals filed by the Department. TheCourt held that the Circulars whichstipulate the said monetary limitswould only control or rather need tobe satisfied at the time of filing of theappeals and not at the time of hearing.

In other words, it was clarified thatthe limits prevailing at the time offiling are be considered and not thelimits prevailing at the time of hearingon the question of law.

[2011] 332 ITR 1 (Delhi) HC:CWT v. Motor and General FinanceLtd.In the instant case the Delhi HighCourt was dealing with the aspect ofbest judgement assessment under theWealth Tax Act. The Court dealt withthe aspect of second proviso toSection 16(5), which dispensed withthe requirement of issue of notice in acase where a notice was already issuedpursuant to Section 16(4). The Courtnoted that the said proviso stated sowithout any qualification as to eitherclause (i) or (ii) of sub-section (4). TheCourt therefore held that the samemeant that if a notice under clause (i)in the case where return was not filedor a notice under clause (ii) callingupon to file documents, etc., had beenissued, that was enough to dispensewith issue of another notice of hearingopportunity contemplated in the firstproviso to sub-section (5).Applyingthe aforesaid ratio in the context ofIncome tax Act, it would mean that aprior issue of notice under sec 142(1)would permit the assessing officer toeffect a best judgement assessmentwithout issuing a show cause notice.This should put on alert thoseassessees who have received a noticeunder sec 142(1) on whatever countas in all such cases, the AO maysurprise them by handing over bestjudgment assessment without notice.

[2011] 332 ITR 58 (SC)Electronics Corporation of IndiaLtd. v. Union of India and OthersInthe instant case the Apex Court heldthat the Committee on Disputes which

had been suggested by the Apex Courtitself, for the purpose of decidingdisputes between entities of State hasoutlived its utility and in view of thechanged scenario the earlier orders ofthe Apex Court in certain cases hadto be recalled. The idea behind thesetting up of that Committee was toensure that the resources of the Stateare not frittered away in inter selitigation between entities of the Statewhich was best resolved by anempowered Committee. However,despite the best efforts of theCommittee the mechanism did notachieve the results for which it wasconstituted while on the contrary ithad in fact delayed litigation.

[2011] 332 ITR 63 (Bom) HC:CIT v. Parle Plastics Ltd. andanother

The Bombay High Court in the instantcase dealing with the deductionallowable under Section 80-IA heldthat while computing the deductionunder the said Section for the purposeof determination of business income,depreciation as per the provisions ofSection 32 had to be necessarilyallowed even in a case where the samewas not claimed by assessee.With duerespect, this decision is not in line withthe provisions of section 80B andsection 80AB. The overruling ofnature of section 80AB over all othersections was re-emphasized in IPCALab [266 ITR 521] by the Apex Court.

[2011] 332 ITR 122 (Karn) HCH. Ebrahim and others v. Dy.CITand anotherIn the instant case theKarnataka High Court was dealingwith the liability of directors ofprivate company in liquidation asprovided under Section 179. TheCourt held that ‘tax’ as contemplatedby the said Section did not include

penalty and interest.Further the Courtnoted that as per the said Section inorder to not penalise the Directors itmust be proved that there was absenceof gross neglect or misfeasance orbreach of duty on their part. In theinstant case where the Company hadfailed to the file returns for more thana decade and amounts were due toCommercial Tax Department andbanks, it was held that the Directorswere liable.With due respect, the Hon.High Court may have missed the thenprevailing section 139(1) which didnot mandate a company to file areturn unless it had total incomechargeable to tax. The facts revealthat the returns were not filed as therewere losses. In such cases, nonexecutive directors cannot be fastenedwith the liability.

[2011] 332 ITR (St.) 1: C B D TInstructions – Instruction No. 3 of2011, dated 9th February, 2011The CDBT vide the aforesaidinstruction has raised the monetarylimit for filing of appeals by theDepartment before the ITAT, HC andSC. The aforesaid Instruction is insupersession of Instruction No. 5 of2008, dated May 15, 2008. The limitsare as follows:Appeal before ITAT –Rs.3,00,000Appeal before HC –Rs.10,00,000Appeal before SC –Rs.25,00,000The Departmenttherefore would not be able to file theappeal unless the tax effect is abovethe said limit at the various stages. Thesame is effective as from appeals tobe filed on or after 9th February 2011.

[2011] 332 ITR 222 (Delhi) HC : CITv. Dynamic Vertical Software IndiaP. Ltd.In the instant case the assessee hadpurchased/imported software from‘M’ and sold in the Indian market. The

Page 6: Bangalore Branch of ICAI May 2011

6May2011

AO had treated the payment made bythe assessee to ‘M’ as royalty and haddisallowed the expense under Section40(a)(i) for want of deduction of taxunder Section 195. The Delhi HighCourt held that the assessee havingpurchased the software from ‘M’ andselling the same in the Indian was actingas a dealer of ‘M’ and the same couldnot be termed as ‘royalty’ and thereforeSection 40(a)(i) could not be invokedin his case.The aforesaid decision is abig relief and will overrule the earlierdecision of Delhi ITAT in Gracemac(Microsoft) case. An adverse decisionhas been dictated in the open court bythe Karnataka High Court in the caseof Synopsis Ltd., although the saiddecision is yet to be released.

[2011] 332 ITR 224 (Delhi) HC: KimRoyal Dutch Airlines and another v.Dy. DITIn the instant case the Delhi HighCourt while setting aside the Orderrefusing stay without consideringexistence of prima facie case held thatsuch an Order must be a composite oneand that is should specifically deal withthe existence of a prima facie case.

[2011] 332 ITR 253 (Bom) HC: CITv. Qatar AirwaysIn the instant case agents of airlinecompanies were permitted to sell airtickets at any rate between the fixedminimum commercial price and thepublished price. In the matter ofdeciding the liability to deduct tax, theBombay High Court held that thedifference between the commercialprice and the published price did notamount to commission or brokerageand therefore the provisions ofSection 194H was not attracted. TheCourt while holding so observed thatit would be impracticable andunreasonable to expect the assesseeto get a feed back from its numerous

agents in respect of each ticket sold.The permission granted to the agentsto sell the tickets at a lower price couldneither amount to commission norbrokerage in the hands of the agent.

[2011] 332 ITR 255 (Ker) HC :Vodafone Essar Cellular Ltd. v.Assist. CIT (TDS)In the instant case the Kerala HighCourt held that in a case of sale of SIMcards and recharge coupons the samewas not in the nature of sale of goods.The commission or brokerage paid forthe said mobile telephone service inthe nature of discount given todistributors was liable to TDS underSection 194H.

[2011] 197 Taxman 249[2010] 6taxmann.com 120 (Mum.) : BhatiaNagar Premises Co-operative SocietyLtd. v. Union of IndiaThe Bombay High Court in the instantcase held that Section 50C, dealingwith the special provisions for fullvalue of consideration (stamp valueetc.) in certain cases of sale of land orbuilding etc., was within the legislativecompetence and was not violative ofArticle 14 of the Constitution.

[2011] 10 taxmann.com 4(Ker.)[2011] 197 Taxman [BN - LI][Issue-5] : CIT v. O. Abdul RazakIn the instant case it was held that anassessee setting up own businessabroad satisfies the condition of goingabroad for purpose of employment asis covered by Explanation (a) toSection 6(1)(c). It was noted that forthe purpose of the said Explanation,employment includes self-employmentlike business or profession taken up bythe assessee abroad.

[2011] 10 taxmann.com 87 (Mum –ITAT) [2011] 197 Taxman [BN –LXV] [Issue – 6] : Tata SonsLimited v. Dy. CIT

In the instant case it was held that anassessee is entitled to benefit ofSection 91, that is entitled to taxcredits, even though he was coveredby scope of India-US & India–CanadaDTAA. It was observed that the factthat a taxpayer is entitled to make aparticular claim, in accordance witha tax treaty provision, does notdisentitle him to make the claim inaccordance with the provisions of theAct. It was noted that the provisionsof Section 91 are to be treated asgeneral in application and the saidprovision would yield to the treatyprovisions only to the extent theprovisions of the treaty werebeneficial to the assessee.

[2011] 10 taxmann.com 78 (Ahd. –ITAT) [2011] 197 Taxman [BN –LXVI] [Issue – 6] : N a v i n eFluorine International Ltd v. ACIT

In the instant case it was held thatitems of scrap which are not generatedout of assessee’s manufacturingactivities would not form part of thedefinition of the scrap as wasprovided in Explanation (b) to Section206C. Therefore, it was held that theassessee could not be held to be indefault for not collecting tax at sourceunder Section 206C(6) on sale of suchscrap.

[2011] 8 ITR (Trib) 187 (Delhi) :Amadeus India Pvt. Ltd. v. Assist.CIT

In the instant case the Delhi Tribunalheld that the power of the TPO underSection 92CA was limited to makingadjustments in respect of transactionsas was referred to him. It was heldthat he had no power to take up anyother transaction suo motu.Thisdecision has been effectively nullifiedby amending the provisions of section92CA by the Finance Act, 2011.

RECENT JUDICIALPRONOUNCEMENTS ININDIRECT TAXESN.R.Badrinath, Grad C.W.A., F.C.A.,Madhur Harlalka, B. Com., F.C.A

SERVICE TAX

The appellants were engaged inproviding taxable service under thecategory of clearing and forwardagents. A show-cause noticeproposing to confirm service tax forthe period April 2001 to March 2003on the said activities was issued whichwas dropped by the AdditionalCommissioner vide his order. Thesaid order had attained finality as thesame was not appealed against.Another show-cause notice for theperiod July 2003 to March 2005 wasissued invoking the longer period oflimitation on the finding that theactivities of promoting the businesson commission basis amounted tobusiness auxiliary services (‘BAS’).However, it was held that the Revenuewas fully aware of the activities andhence if the Revenue was of theopinion that the appellants activity fellunder BAS, it should have eitheradvise them to pay service tax orshould have proceeded to take actionwithin the normal period of limitation.As the income from BAS wasreflected in the ledger account andbalance sheet, there was no wilfulsuppression or mis-statement with anintention to evade payment tax ascontended by the Revenue. Hence, theshow-cause notice issued invokingextended period cannot be sustainedand the pre-deposit of tax was waivedand the stay petition was allowed.

[Rama Paper Mills vs. Commissionerof Central Excise, Meerut. 2011 (22)S.T.R 19 (Tri - Delhi)]

The appellant was providing theservice of mandap keeper and duringthe course of investigation it wasfound that the appellant was alsoengaged in renting of party plot tovarious customers for which,consideration was received partly incash. Accordingly, it was found thatthe appellant had short paid servicetax and after adjudication, service taxdemand was confirmed with interestand penalties under sections 76 and78 of the Finance Act, 1994. Theappellant contended that penaltyunder section 78 may be reduced to25% which they had already paid bythem and the penalty under section 76may be set aside since penalty cannotbe imposed under both sections.However, it was held that the penaltyunder section 78 was paid beyond 30days from the date of the order inoriginal. The reason given by theappellant that the party plot is not usedon a regular basis and hence the orderwas received by them late cannot beaccepted. Based on the decision of theHon’ble High Court of Kerala in thecase of Krishna Poduval [2006(1)STR 185 (Ker)], it was held thatimposition of penalty are distinct andseparate even if offences arecommitted in the course of sametransaction. Hence the appeal was

dismissed. [Dhaval Corporation vs.Commissioner of Service Tax,Ahmedabad. 2011 (22) S.T.R 26 (Tri– Ahmd.)]

The applicants had filed applicationfor the waiver of pre-deposit of dutyand penalty. The Commissioner(Appeals) directed the applicants todeposit an amount of Rs. 10 lakh forhearing which, was deposited by theapplicants by way of reversing thecredit. The Commissioner (Appeals)did not accept such reversal on theopinion that the pre-deposit should bemade in cash or through PLA anddismissed the appeal. The applicantsrelied on the decision of the Hon’bleAllahabad High Court in the case ofIndia Casting Co. vs. CEGAT, NewDelhi [1998 (104) ELT 17(All.)],wherein it was held that theassessee is entitled to make pre-deposit by way of reversal fromCenvat account. It was held that theapplicant is entitled to make pre-deposit by reversal of credit based onthe above cited decision. Therefore,the pre-deposit of the remainingamounts of duty and penalty waswaived and the stay application wasallowed. [Ballarpur IndustriesLimited vs. Commissioner of CentralExcise, Customs and Service Tax,BBSR-I. 2011 (22) S.T.R. 125 (Tri –Kolkata)]

The petitioner, a Governmentcontractor entered into contracts forconstruction of residential complexwherein nothing was mentionedwhether the service tax would be paideither by the petitioner or by therespondent. After the execution of thecontract, the respondent issuednotices to the petitioner to depositservice tax. The petitioner, relying on

Page 8: Bangalore Branch of ICAI May 2011

the resolution No. 12 taken up by theBoard of Directors of the respondentcontended that the when there was nocondition for payment of service taxand the contract was alreadyexecuted, the service tax would bepaid by the respondent, but in all casesfor future the service tax would bepaid by the contractor. The petitionerrelied on the decision of the ApexCourt in the case of ABL InternationalLimited vs. Export Credit GuaranteeCorporation in India Limited (2004)3 SCC 553 where it was held that, theState being a party to the contract hasan obligation to act fairly, justly andreasonably as per Article 14 of theConstitution of India. Accordingly, itwas contended that the respondent isliable to pay tax under the contract.However, it was held that the liabilityto pay tax is on the service provider.It cannot be said that the petitioner isnot liable to pay tax as a serviceprovider. Having decided that theliability would be of the petitioner,whether the petitioner is entitled to bereimbursed under the contract has tobe decided by a Court of competentjurisdiction. The petitioner would befree to make an application before thecompetent authority which shalldecide the same and accordingly thepetition was dismissed. [RavishankarJaiswal vs. Jabalpur DevelopmentAuthority. 2011 (22) S.T.R 5 (MP)]

VALUE ADDED TAX

The petitioner filed petition againstthe denial of deduction on thediscounts by the respondent on theground that the discounts had beengranted through credit notes raisedsubsequent to the tax invoices whichresulted in reduction of the turnoverand thereby the tax liability. The

petitioner contended that the decisionof the respondent is arbitrary, illegaland ultra vires as per sections 2(36),4 and 30 of the Karnataka ValueAdded Tax Act, 2003 read with Rule31 of the Karnataka Value Added TaxRules, 2005. In the decision in thecase of Deputy Commissioner of SalesTax (Law), Board of Revenue (Taxes),Ernakulam vs. Advani OerlikonPrivate Limited [(1950-2004) 7 SCST7115 : AIR 1980 SC 609 : (1980) 45STC 32 (SC) : (1980) 1 SCC 360, theApex Court, with reference to thetaxable turnover, while defining whatis ‘sale price’ and ‘trade discount’, hasheld that the discount extended is notincludable in taxable turnover. Hencethe impugned order passed theAssessing Officer was quashed.However, it is for the AssessingOfficer to restrict calculation of thetaxable turnover based on thediscounts and to calculate the actualtax to be paid. Accordingly, the writpetitions were allowed. [TVSundaram Iyengar and Sons Limited,Bangalore vs. State of Karnataka andAnother. 2011 (70) Kar. L. J 372(HC)]

The appellant is a registered dealerengaged in manufacture and sale ofgranite monuments. The AA held thatthe consumable machine tools usedin sawing and polishing the graniteare parts of machinery and levied theentry tax. The appellant contendedthat the machine tools concerned areconsumables and in the First Scheduleto the Karnataka Tax on Entry ofGoods Act, 1979, there is no entryspecified for such consumables.However, it was held that the Statecan levy entry tax on goods specifiedunder Schedule I only by issuance of

a notification. There is no suchnotification under section 3(1) to levytax on consumables. The goodsinvolved in the present case are ofconsumables since they are used forthe purpose of drilling or to bore holesin the wall or any hard substance byloosening their sharpness though notcompletely exhausted. Tools like drillbits, cutters are consumables for thereason of being exhausted fastly andare not accessories. Hence, theimpugned orders passed by the AAand FAA holding that the goodsconcerned as machinery parts andaccessories are against the law.Accordingly, the appeal was allowedand the impugned orders of AAlevying entry tax on machine tools asaccessories as confirmed by FAAwere set aside. [V Ramanna Naidu vs.State of Karnataka. 2011 (70) Kar. L.J155 (Tri.) (DB)]

The appellant is engaged in thedesign, manufacture, supply andinstallation of UPVC doors andwindows and had claimed deductionof 25% of the contract value towardslabour charge. The PA had disallowedthe labour deductions claimed on theground that the manufacturingactivities are completed at the factorylevel itself and the excise duty iscollected at the applicable rates on theassessable value and hence theactivity carried on by the appellant isa sale of UPVC doors and windowsand not a works contract.Reassessment order was passedexcluding excise duty and cess fromthe contract value in arriving at thededuction for labour charges.However, it was held that the valueof contract is aggregate amount forwhich the goods are sold.

be said that the excise duty and cessrefers only to the value of the goodsand is not part of the contract value.The appellant had charged thecustomers excise duty and as result,the contract value has increased.Hence, 25% of the value of thecontract which includes excise dutyand cess is to be considered forarriving at the labour charges fordeduction. Accordingly, the orderpassed by FAA holding that the exciseduty does not form part of the contractvalue to calculate labour charges forthe purpose of claiming deductionwas set aside. [Fenesta BuildingSystems, Bangalore vs. State ofKarnataka. 2011 (70) Kar. L.J 216(Tri) (DB)]

The petitioner challenged thereassessment order passed by therespondent and the consequentialdemand on the ground that thepetitioner was not granted anopportunity to of personal hearing.The petitioner contended that therespondent had not followedprinciples of natural justice by not

granting an opportunity for personalhearing despite specific request.However, it was held that the Statutedoes not provide for the giving ofopportunity of hearing. Conditionprecedent for passing an order is theissuance of show-cause notice. Noratio is laid down to the effect that thereassessment order has to be quashedif the personal hearing is not afforded.Provisions of Act or Rules framedthereunder do not provide for personalhearing. Section 39(1)(b) of theKarnataka Value Added Tax Act, 2003only speaks of the opportunity ofshowing cause against the proposedreassessment. When the statueprovides only for giving ofopportunity of showing cause, theopportunity of personal hearingcannot be imported into the statue.Hence, reassessment of tax andsubsequent notice of demand cannotbe said be vitiated fore not givingpersonal hearing. [NavayugaEngineering Company Limited,Bangalore vs. State of Karnataka andAnother. 2011 (70) Kar. L.J 145 (HC)]

The petitioner made certainpurchases from M/s. Kaytee SwitchGear Limited (‘the Company’) andhad paid input tax at 12.5%. Thepetitioner subsequently sold the goodsat 4% and made a claim before therespondents for the refund of theexcess input tax paid which, was paidby the respondent. However, therespondent refused to pay interest onthe delayed refund. The Company hadfailed to remit the tax collected fromthe petitioner and the respondentinitiated coercive steps and recoveredthe same with interest and penalty. Itwas held that the respondent isentitled to retain the input tax at 4%and consequent interest and penaltyon delayed payment.
