Vishal Tansukhbhai Gohel Vs Commissioner of Central Excise & ST (CESTAT Ahmedabad)
This case before the CESTAT Ahmedabad centered on the issue of whether service tax was applicable on the margin earned by a firm from ocean freight charges recovered from customers. Here’s a breakdown of the key points and the tribunal’s ruling:
- Background: The appellant, a clearing and forwarding agent firm, was registered for service tax under the relevant category. The Department observed a positive difference between the freight expenses incurred and the freight charged to customers. They considered this difference as excess amount charged by the appellant towards ocean freight.
- Department’s Argument: The Department demanded service tax from the appellant under the category of Business Auxiliary Service, asserting that the differential amount of freight retained was akin to commission received for providing a service.
