MRF Ltd. Vs Commissioner of GST & CE (CESTAT Chennai)

Commissioner (Appeals) has noted that appellants have included the freight charges in the assessable value and discharged excise duty on the same. In such circumstances, the appellants would be eligible to avail credit of the service tax paid on such freight charges for outward transportation of goods upto the buyer’s premises. The said issue has been analyzed by the Division Bench of the Tribunal at Ahmedabad in the case of Ultratech Cement Ltd. Vs CCE – 2019 (2) TMI 1487. It is also submitted by the Ld. Counsel that said decision has been upheld by the High Court of Gujarat vide R/Tax Appeal Nos.691 of 2019, 698 of 2019 and 690 of 2019 all dated 23.01.2020. Following the above decisions, I am of the view that the demand cannot sustain. The impugned orders are set aside.
