Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-30-1980

Reported in: [1981]48STC406(Mad)

Ramaswami, J.1. In respect of the assessment year 1968-69, the assessee reported a total and taxable turnover of Rs. 28,20,167.02 and Rs. 1,93,869.86 respectively under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. The assessee had claimed in this return a deduction of Rs. 1,06,239.96 as relating to inter-State purchases of cotton. Though the assessing officer rejected this claim on the ground that no proof was produced by the assessee to establish that they were inter-State purchases of cotton, on appeal, the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, accepted the contention and deleted the said turnover, accepting the return submitted by the assessee. Subsequently on the ground that certain turnover has escaped assessment, the assessing officer invoked his jurisdiction; under section 16 and after issuing notices and calling for objections, revised the assessment including a sum of Rs. 2,29,999.23 as a taxable turnover. But on appeal, the Appellate Assistant Commissioner held that it was an inte...

The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Madras Tanning Company

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-30-1980

Reported in: [1983]54STC327(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. The assessee in this sales tax revision is a dealer in hides and skins. He purchases raw hides and skins in the State of Tamil Nadu. After tanning them the assessee sells them as dressed hides and skins. Sales of dressed hides and skins are effected by the assessee both inside the State and also in the course of inter-State trade. 2. For 1973-74, the assessee effected sales of dressed hides and skins in the course of inter-State trade in the sum Rs. 2,24,720.55. The hides and skins in question were originally purchased in this State in their raw state. The assessee tanned them before selling them as dressed hides and skins in the course of inter-State trade. There is no doubt that this sales turnover of Rs. 2,24,720.55 in dressed hides and skins is assessable under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. In point of fact, however, no assessment has yet been made on the assessee on this turnover under the Central Sales Tax Act for the relevant year 1973-74. Consequently...

The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Polyweb Private Ltd.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Oct-30-1980

Reported in: [1982]51STC364(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J. 1. This tax revision case raises the question whether high density polyethylene (HDPE) woven fabrics are 'artificial silk fabrics' within the contemplation of item 4 of the Third Schedule to the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. Item 4 of the Third Schedule to the Sales Tax Act reads as under : 'Cotton fabrics, woollen fabrics and rayon or artificial silk fabrics, as defined in items 19, 21 and 22 respectively of the First Schedule to the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 (Central Act 1 of 1944).' 2. The scope of the exemption provision in the Sales Tax Act is clear. That which is exempt from sales tax is rayon or artificial silk fabrics. What rayon fabric is or artificial silk fabric is must be determined by turning to their definition in the First Schedule to the Central Excises and Salt Act. But when we turn to the Central Excises and Salt Act, we almost draw a blank. Here is how the relevant articles are defined in item 22 of the First Schedule to that A...
