As submitted by the learned counsel in respect of FOB exports, the place of removal has to be treated as the Port. Further input service definition is an inclusive definition of services used by the manufacturer directly or indirectly in or in relation to manufacture and clearance and also relating to business activities and specified categories would be admissible.
The modus operandi of the appellants, which we have briefly stated herein before, is crystal clear. They were not purchasing and selling immovable properties. They were only holding ‘General Power of Attorney’ of the property owners and, in that capacity, selling the property to M/s Sahara India .
Learned CA submits that the maintenance of DG sets is essentially and integrally connected to rendering the business and no export of service can take place if there is no uninterrupted power supply and, therefore, the said services should be treated as ‘input services’. We are prima facie, in agreement with views expressed by learned CA that the impugned services could be treated as ‘input services’ in respect of services rendered by the appellant.
The disputed amount has not been realized as service tax from the person to whom service is provided. It is also to be noted that appellant had not filed a service tax return and the amount deposited in that tax account of the Government becomes payment towards service tax only when return is filed. Therefore, in this case, it is a strictly not a refund of service tax paid.
Hon’ble Supreme Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed as reported at 2012 (25) J514 (SC). So we consider that this matter is no longer res integra and service tax can be demanded under section 65(105)(zzzh) only if the building concerned has more than 12 residential units in the building and such levy will not apply in cases where in one compound has many buildings, each having not more than 12 residential units. Therefore, we set aside the impugned order and allow the appeal.
As per Section 65(105)(zzzn) the activity undertaken by the applicant is a sponsorship activity but same is specifically exempt if same is undertaken in relation to sponsorship of the sports events. The above said activity came into taxable event with effect from 1.7.2010 when an exemption for sponsorship of sports event has been withdrawn.
Activities of the appellant may not deserve to be considered as ‘supply of manpower’ but as rendering of ‘information technology software service’ and in the light of the stay granted in the case of ASM Technologies Ltd. (supra), the appellants are eligible for waiver of pre-deposit. As regards, the denial of CENVAT credit,
After examining the records, I am of the view that the services in relation to Convention services, Memberships of Clubs & Association Services, Health Club & Fitness Centre Services and House Keeping services are not entitled for input service credit.
Overseas commission agent services promotes the assessee’s business activities and adds to Revenue earning by manufacture and sale of incremental quantity, activity may have nexus to such sales and Service Tax paid on such services has to be held as includable in the definition of inputs services.
