The CESTAT (Ahmedabad Bench) in case of Orion Appliances Ltd. v. CST, Ahmedabad. [Arising out of Appeal No. ST/120/09 and order dated 07-05-2010J has observed that Rule 6(2) and Rule 6(3) of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 are not attracted in case where an assessee is providing ‘taxable output services’ and also undertaking ‘trading activity’.
The Circular No. 98/1/2008-ST dated 01-01-2008 issued by the 1st respondent is in challenge. On a true and fair construction of Rule 3(3) of the 2007 Rules, it is clear that where in respect of a works contract service tax has been paid, no option to pay service tax under the composition scheme could be exercised. There is no ambiguity in this provision. The entitlement to avail the benefits of the composition scheme is only after an option is exercised under Rule 3(3) of the 2007 Rules and this provision specifically enjoins a disqualification for exercise of such option where service tax had been paid in respect of a works contract. To put it succinctly, where service tax has been paid in respect of a works contract, the eligibility to exercise an option to avail the benefits of the composition scheme under the 2007 Rules is excluded.
TRENT Ltd and Future Value Retail Ltd have challenged before the AP High Court, the service tax with retrospective effect on renting of immovable property, brought in by the Finance Act, 2010.
Four retailers will be approaching various High Courts across the country to seek a stay order on the service tax on commercial rentals that was imposed in this year’s Budget by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee. According to industry sources, the four retailers are Shopper’s Stop, Lifestyle, More and Reliance Retail Ltd.
Through Finance Act 2010, the government had sought to levy service tax on renting of immovable property to businesses, despite the fact a similar law enacted three years ago remained non-enforceable, thanks to a Delhi High Court ruling on a petition challenging the law filed by major retailers.
