Case Law Details
State of Haryana & ANR Vs A. P. Processors (Supreme Court of India)
In the case of State of Haryana & ANR vs. A.P. Processors, the Supreme Court of India has affirmed the ruling of the High Court. The case revolves around the measure of VAT levy on dyeing units, specifically addressing the taxation of wastage generated during the dyeing process. The High Court had previously held that no tax should be imposed on the wastage, and only the goods embedded in the final cloth would be subject to taxation due to the transfer of property in the works contract involved.
The Supreme Court’s affirmation of the High Court’s judgment brings clarity to the issue of tax levy on dyeing units. The court supports the High Court’s reasoning that only the goods embedded in the final cloth, where the property has been transferred, should be taxable. The ruling distinguishes between the wastage generated during the dyeing process and the taxable goods that undergo the works contract. This distinction ensures that only the goods in which the property has been transferred attract taxation, while the wastage remains exempt.
