The Credit Rules has been streamlined with restructuring of Rule 6 of the Credit Rules to make it more cogent. Amendment in definition of ‘inputs’ [Rule 2(k)], to include all Capital goods having value up to Rs. 10,000 per piece, which in turn will enable an assessee to take 100% Cenvat credit immediately,
I find that the appellant shifted the machinery from their registered premises without reversal of the credit. The Central Excise Officers detected the irregularity and thereafter, the appellant reversed the credit.
The appellant availed CENVAT credit during the period from June 2009 to March 2010 on the service tax paid on the basis of the invoices issued in the name of their head office. The Learned Advocate submits that the appellant is only manufacturing unit of the head office.
The Appellant is registered as Multi Product Special Economic Zone (MPSEZ) as a developer of AMRL Hi-Tech City. The Appellant claimed the refund of credit paid on various input services under Rule 5 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 (“CC Rules”) read with Notification No. 12/2013-ST dated July 01, 2013.
The Department filed an appeal against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals) and raised the legal issue by submitting that the place of removal is the factory gate and the transportation of the final product manufactured by the assessee beyond the factory gate will not get covered
Assessee and Department have been involved in tug of war on cenvat credit on inputs, input services and capital goods. The assessee attempting to avail credit of every possible input / capital goods /input service by liberally interpreting their definitions and department denying the Cenvat credit by following the principle of literal interpretation. Cenvat Credit on sales commission has always been a sensitive issue since dawn.
The taxable services availed by the appellant were to occasion the exports. There appears nexus between export and the service so availed which cannot be ruled out by the authorities below. Once that is present, denial of the refund of the accumulated CENVAT credit to the exporter is unreasonable.
What the learned counsel says is that its right not being abrogated by law and also in absence of any provision in law to deny refund, the unutilised credit of AED is refundable. Following the ratio laid down by the Hon ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh in the aforesaid judgment, appellant is entitled to refund. When law itself does not deny grant of refund of unutilised credit there shall be no question of limitation to apply.
Rule -6(1) Rule is amended to provide that CENVAT Credit shall not be available on input used for manufacture of exempted goods and input used for empted services. Rule further direct that procedure for calculation of credit not allowed is stated in sub rule (2) and (3) for different situation.
The Union Budget/ Finance Bill 2016 has introduced the levy of Central Excise duty on the readymade garments and made up articles of textiles falling under Chapters 61, 62 and 63 (heading Nos. 6301 to 6308) of the Central Excise Tariff except those falling under 6309 and 6310 by withdrawing the exemption available to such goods.
