Tidel Park Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of Service Tax, Chennai

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Feb-15-2010

The authorities below have held that the assessee herein who is providing taxable services such as Mandap Keeper and Health club and Fitness centre as well as non-taxable service of leasing out immovable property is entitled to avail credit only upto the extent of 35% upto 10.9.2004 and 20% thereafter in terms of Rule 6 (3) (c) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. 2. I have heard both sides and find merit in the submission of the assessees that they are entitled to the whole of the credit of the service tax paid on taxable service as specified in 17 specified categories covered by Rule 6(5) as such service is not used exclusively in or in relation to the providing of exempted services. Rule 6(5) is a non-obstante clause and therefore completely widens the restriction contained in Rule 6 (3) (c). It is not the case of the Revenue that the taxable service on which service tax has been paid is not one of 17 categories specified in Rule 6 (5) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004. I, therefore, set aside ...

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Chennai

Decided on: Feb-11-2010

Heard both sides. Considering the reasons stated in the miscellaneous application for restoration of the appeal, the order of dismissal dated 10.12.2009 is recalled and the miscellaneous application is allowed restoring the appeal to its original number. 2. With the consent of both sides, the appeal is taken up for decision on merit. I find that the appellants have received the impugned goods from the depot of a reputed manufacturer namely M/s.

Initially, the original authority had considered the case of the appellants and through a detailed speaking order allowed the refund of the credit on inputs used in the exported goods. The present proceedings have been initiated without filing an appeal against the said order on the ground that the refund has been given erroneously, as the credit could not have been allowed on an invoice from the depot. 3. Shri S. Kandasamy, learned consultant appearing for ...
