Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Apr-03-2007

Reported in: (2007)9STJ144CESTATNew(Delhi)

1. The applicant filed this application for waiver of pre-deposit of service tax. The applicant has already deposited 50% of the amount of confirmed demand. The demand is confirmed by treating the applicant as Cargo Handling Service Provider. The contention of the appellant is that they are only providing labour to the manufacturer and the work of loading and unloading is being done by the manufacturer with their machines. Therefore, the appellants are not providing any service, which attracts service tax. The appellant relied upon the decision in the case of J.J. Enterprises v. CCE Raipur reported in 2006 (3) STR 655 to submit that where the assessee was not owner of the machines which are used for loading and unloading, their role being limited to supply of manpower, they are not rendering cargo handling service and were not liable to tax as such.2.

The second is that the private record of the recipient DTA unit showed excess receipts than the clearances shown in the statutory record of the EOU. The duty demand on this count is Rs 14 lakhs.3. The explanation of the learned Senior Counsel for the appellant on the issue of valuation is that the goods cleared to the DTA unit had been correctly valued in as much as the sale price (assessable value) to the DTA unit was the same as the export price of identical goods.

In this factual situation, the learned Senior Counsel would contend that the finding regarding under-valuation is not sustainable at all.

Rekha Sharma, J.1. The petitioner was working as Assistant Engineer in the erstwhile Delhi Vidhyut Board (DVB). In the year 1998 he faced a departmental enquiry.
