As we know the Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court has already stayed the levy of entry tax in Punjab in the case of M/s Bhushan Steel v State of Punjab case on 28-03-2011 and also in other similar writ petitions challenging the levy of entry tax in Punjab on 08-04-2011. But the interim stay were applicable only to the persons who have filed writ petitions and the relief regarding deferment from payment of entry tax was available only to the concerned persons who have filed writ petitions in the High court as a result it was giving rise to filing of more and more writ petitions on the similar issue resulting in multiplicity of litigation in the High Court.
I had given a clarification two days back in an article titled ‘PVAT Act 2005 – Declared Goods except wheat and paddy will be taxable @ 4.4% w.e.f 08/04/2011’ that surchage is also applicable on declared goods other than Paddy and wheat, since the ceiling rate of tax was enhanced from 4% to 5% by the Central govt in the Budget of 2011-12.
Although there has been a news in a leading Hindi Newspaper that in an ongoing case pending in P&H HC namely Bhushan Steel v. State of Punjab, the Hon’ble High Court has stayed the operation of entry tax in Punjab, but the collection of entry tax is still going on in Punjab. This withdrawal of entry tax on sugar would be a relief for the importers of sugar in State of Punjab.
Ceiling rate on declared goods have been enhanced from 4% to 5% by Central Govt in the Budget of 2011-12. Which follows that rate of tax on declared goods cannot exceed 5%. Rate of tax on paddy and wheat has been enhanced by the Punjab Govt from 4% to 5% by including these goods in schedule B of PVAT Act 2005.
Wheat and Paddy which are declared goods under CST Act 1956, have been added to schedule B of Punjab VAT Act 2005. The goods contained in schedule B of PVAT act 2005 are taxable @ 5%. An additional surcharge @ 10% is also applicable. But such surcharge will not be applicable on wheat and paddy since these goods are declared goods as per section 14 of CST Act 1956.
in a recent case namely Snoline/Snowline Air Conditioner Vs State of Punjab decided on 17-12-2010 by PVAT Tribunal(2011) 16 STM 332 where the penalty was imposed u/s 14-B(6)(i) of Punjab General Sales Tax Act 1948 and the case was remanded for denovo orders to the designated officer on the ground that “As per records, the goods were detained on 07-05-2003 and the penalizing officer imposed a penalty on 07.05.2003. It appears that no inquiry was made by penalizing officer before imposition of penalty. The case is remanded to the penalizing officer to afford proper opportunity of being heard to the appellant and pass de-novo orders.”
