Kind attention is invited to the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of M/s Super Synotex India Ltd. [2014-TIOL-19-SC-CX] on the issue of abatement of sales tax under an abatement scheme where the assesse was allowed to retain 75% of the sales tax collected from the buyer and was required to deposit only the remaining 25% with the State Government.
G.S.R (E).- In exercise of the powers conferred by section 37A of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944), the Central Government hereby delegates the powers of the Central Board of Excise and Customs under rule 3 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002, to the Principal Chief Commissioner of Central Excise or the Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, to specify within his jurisdiction
G.S.R (E) In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (b) of section 2 of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944) read with sub-rule (1) of rule 3 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002, the Central Board of Excise and Customs hereby makes the following further amendments in the notifications of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue)
Provided that the jurisdiction of the Principal Commissioner or the Commissioner of Central Excise specified in Table-III(A) or Table-III(B) under whose jurisdiction there is an assessee who has obtained a centralised registration for more than one premises in terms of the notification issued under rule 9 of Central Excise Rules, 2002, shall also extend to the jurisdiction of such other Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Central Excise specified in Table-III(A)
The Finance Act (No.2), 2014 has been enacted on 06.08.2014. Section 35F of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and Section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962 have been substituted with new sections to prescribe mandatory pre-deposit as a percentage of the duty demanded where duty demanded is in dispute or where duty demanded and penalty levied are in dispute. Where penalty alone is in dispute, the pre-deposit shall be calculated on the penalty imposed.
Please find enclosed a press release issued by Central Board of Excise and Customs giving details of indirect tax revenue (provisional) collections during April-August 2014, along with growth rate over previous year.
As there is confusion of adjustment of Cenvat Credit against mandatory penalty, clarifications have been sought from Competent authority. In absence of any classificatory Circular on the issue, all the DRs/ARs/TOs are directed that the appeals received on or after 06.08.2014 may be registered in following cases:
Notification No. 26/2014–Central Excise (N.T.) Dated- 27th August, 2014 (1) These rules may be called the CENVAT Credit (Eighth Amendment) Rules, 2014. (2) They shall come into force from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.
In the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, in rule 12AAA, after the words “first stage and second stage dealer”, the words “provider of taxable service” shall be inserted.
In exercise of powers conferred by section 35FF of the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944), the Central Government hereby fixes the rate of interest at six percent per annum for the purpose of the said Section.
