Sethuraman, J.1. This is an appeal against the decision of the Board of Revenue dated 29th December, 1976. The assessee was assessed for the assessment year 1971-72 under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act in due course. It had claimed exemption on a turnover of Rs. 21,85,920 relating to sales of mango juice exported to the U.S.S.R. This exemption was allowed by the assessing authority. The assessment was reopened, and the sum of Rs. 21,62,725.51 was added in the assessment by an order dated 3rd July, 1974. In the appeal before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner the inclusion of this turnover was disputed and the Appellate Assistant Commissioner accepted the plea of the assessee and allowed the claim. 2.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-18-1980

Reported in: [1981]48STC274(Mad)

Ramaswami, J.1. The assessee is a manufacturer and dealer in stainlesswares. It appears that he started the manufacturing industry some time prior to 1974-75. His place of business was inspected on 10th October, 1975, by the sales tax authorities and it was found that he had effected sales to an extent of Rs. 37,975.60 during the year 1974-75 as per bills. He submitted his return after the inspection on 17th October, 1975, disclosing the total turnover as Rs. 37,975.60. This was a belated return. The assessing officer noticed that as per the books of account produced by the assessee the purchase value of the stainless steel was shown as Rs. 36,737.37 and the gross profit worked out only at 3 per cent. On the ground that the gross profit shown as per the accounts suggested sales omission, a pre-assessment notice was issued under section 12(2) proposing an addition of 20 per cent to the purchase value and determining the total and taxable turnover at Rs. 44.084.85 and calling for the dea...

New Bharat Confectionery Vs. the State of Tamil Nadu

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Dec-18-1980

Reported in: [1981]48STC140(Mad)

Ramaswami, J.1. The assessee in this case is a dealer in confectionery. The turnover in dispute related to the sale of machine parts which were considered by the assessee as redundant and no longer useful. That the impugned transactions are inter-State sales is not in dispute. The only question for consideration was whether the turnover is liable to Central sales tax. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner held that the turnover is not liable to sales tax on the ground that the assessee cannot be held to be carrying on business in selling this redundant capital stock. For that view the Appellate Assistant Commissioner relied on the decision of the Supreme Court in State of Gujarat v. Raipur . : [1967]1SCR618 . It was a case decided under the Bombay Sales Tax Act. The Supreme Court held with reference to the definitions in that Act that in the turnover of a person carrying on business of selling one commodity will not be included the price received by him by sale of another commodity unle...
