Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-16-1983

Reported in: [1984]56STC51(Mad)

ORDERRamanujam, J. 1. The petitioner in this case is a registered dealer, liable to pay sales tax under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. It was assessed to sales tax by the assessing authority for the years 1977-78 and 1978-79 at Rs. 75,123. The said assessment order was not challenged by the assessee.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-15-1983

Reported in: [1985]58STC143(Mad)

Ramanujam, J.1. The point that arises for consideration in this case is whether they levy of penalty under section 22(2) of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, read with section 3(2) of the Tamil Nadu Sales Tax (Surcharge) Act, 1971, could legally be justified. The assessee is a dealer in Tiruchengode. Tiruchengode area is exempted under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Serial Tax (Surcharged) Act. Notwithstanding the exemption available the assessee has collected a sum of Rs. 320 as surcharge payable under section 3(2) of the Surcharge Act. Since the assessee collected surcharge in respect of transactions which would not come under the provisions of the Surcharge Act the assessing authority levied a penalty in the sum of Rs. 480 under section 22(2) of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, read with section 3(2) of the Tamil Nadu Sales Tax (Surcharge) Act, 1971. The said levy of penalty was challenged before the appellate authority, who, while upholding the levy of penalt...

The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Kutty Flush Doors and Furniture Company

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-15-1983

Reported in: [1984]57STC223(Mad)

Ramanujam, J. 1. The question that arises in this tax case is as to whether the Tribunal has the power to enhance an assessment exercising its appellate power under section 36 of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959. The assessee contended before the Tribunal that the Tribunal has no power to enhance an assessment and the Tribunal has accepted that contention, notwithstanding section 36(3)(a)(i) of the Act before its amendment by Act No. 22 of 1982, by which the Tribunal has been specifically conferred with the power of enhancement without any qualification in exercise of the same. The reasons given by the Tribunal for denying itself the power of enhancement are these : As the appeal before the Tribunal can arise only in respect of questions dealt with by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and the enhancement petition filed by the State relates to matters not dealt with by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, the Tribunal has no power to deal with the enhancement petition file...

The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Prem Electrical Conductors (M.) Pvt. Ltd.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-15-1983

Reported in: [1984]57STC29(Mad)

Ramanujam, J. 1. The assessees in this case are dealers in electrical conductors. During the assessment year 1974-75 they sold a car TMZ 8143 and realised a sum of Rs. 23,048. The assessing authority included the said amount as part of the sales turnover of the assessee and brought it to tax. The assessee preferred an appeal to the appellate authority, seeking exclusion of the said sum of Rs. 23,048 from the sales turnover. The appellate authority came to the conclusion that the sum of Rs. 23,048 realised by the assessee by the sale of the car was liable to tax under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, but found that the actual sum received by assessee, after allowing for depreciation and loss, was only Rs. 14,500 and that therefore the turnover by way of sale of the car should be taken to be only Rs. 14,500. Not satisfied with the decision of the appellate authority, the assessee went before the Tribunal. Before the Tribunal, it was contended by the assessee that the sum of Rs...
