Please refer to your letter dated 30.8.2011 on the above mentioned subject addressed to the Chairman, Central Board of Excise & Customs. In the said letter you have represented that Service Tax may not be charged on the activity of retreading of tyres under ‘Management Maintenance & Repair Service’, The argument given by you is that ‘retreading of tyre’ is specifically figuring in Central Excise Tariff under TI 4012 and therefore, they are excisable goods. Hence, in your view Service Tax cannot be imposed, as Excise Duty is payable as applicable.

we find that the appellant’s claim that they have produced some records and the documents, indicating that the income mentioned in the balance sheet may not be totally out of the income as a recovery agent is borne out from the Chartered Accountant’s certificate and adjudicating authority has recorded the same in the submissions made by assessee. It is also seen that the adjudicating authority has recorded that the appellant has produced a Chartered Accountant’s certificate. Suffice to say that the adjudicating authority should have given a finding on this issue, we are of the view that the entire issue needs to be re-considered by lower authority. We also find that the issue involved in this case also needs to be appreciated from the factual matrix, as regards the receipts indicated in the balance sheet of the appellant and the certificate issued by Chartered Accountant to that extent. It our opinion, this exercise is better left to the adjudicating authority to appreciate all the evidences available and that may be produced by the appellant.
