Service Tax: Services provided prior to 14-5-2003 but, in respect of which payments were received on or after 14-5-2003, whether service tax was chargeable @ 5% or @ 8%: Scope and liability: Rule 5B of the Service Tax Rules, 1994 came into effect on 1-4-2011 and was out of the statute books on 1-7-2012. Section 67A of the Finance Act, 1994, was inserted in the said Act by virtue of the Finance Act, 2012 w.e.f. 28-5-2012. In the present case, the relevant period is April, 2003 to September, 2003. Therefore, none of the above provisions apply. Moreover, even Rule 4(a)(i) of the Point of Taxation Rules 2011 is not applicable because those Rules came into effect on 1-3-2011.

In the absence of any Rules, it is to examine as to what is the taxable event. The taxable event as per the Finance Act, 1994 is the providing of the taxable service. In the present case, not only were the services admittedly provided prior of 14-5-2003 but also the bills have been raised prior to 14-5-2003. The only thing that happened after 14-5-2003 was that the payments were received after that date. That, would not change the date on which the taxable event had taken place. Since the taxable event in the present case took place prior to 14-5-2003, the rate of tax applicable prior to that date would be the one that would apply. In the present case, the rate of 5% would be applicable and not the rate of 8%.(Para 5,6).

Revenue appeal dismissed.

Service Tax: Payment of service tax on goods transport agency by adjustment of Cenvat credit instead of payment in cash : Scope and admissibility: Taking note of the provisions of Section 68(2) as well as the decision of the Commissioner of Central Excise v. M/s. Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. STO 2007 CESTAT 151 and RRD Tex Pvt. Ltd. v. CCE, Salem, STO 2007 CESTAT 427 held that the assessee was entitled to the benefit of claiming payment of service tax on GTA services through adjustment of Cenvat credit. The appeal preferred by the Revenue to the CESTAT was rejected following the previous order in Nahar Industrial Enterprises; it also noticed other decisions on the same subject i.e. India Cements v. CCE, Salem, STO 2007 CESTAT 579; Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd. v. CCE; STO 2007 CESTAT 1049, and CCE, Nagpur v. Visaka Industries Ltd,STO 2007 CESTAT 184. Revenue had challenged the CESTAT’s order in Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. (supra) before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The High Court by its order reported as CCE v. Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd.,STO 2010 P&H 853 held as follows :- Learned counsel for the revenue has contended that the respondents cannot pay the service tax from the Cenvat credit availed by them. But this argument has no force, because a perusal of para 2.4.2 of CBEC’s Excise Manual of Supplementary Instructions shows that there is no legal bar to the utilisation of Cenvat credit for the purpose of payment of service tax on the GTA services. Apart from the above, even as per Rule 3(4)(e) of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004, the Cenvat credit may be utilized for payment of service tax on any output service.(Para 4,6).

Appeal dismissed.

Service Tax: Chitty business and C.B.E.C. Circular No. 96/7/2007-S.T., dated 23-8-2007: Validity for levy of service tax: Whether Service Tax can be sought to be imposed by way of Circular issued for the first time, invoking the power under Section 37B of the Central Excise Act, 1984 read with Section 83 of the Finance Act, 1994: Scope and liability: It is quite appropriate to refer to some of the provisions of the Statute, particularly Section 65(12) which defines the term “Banking and other financial services” and Section 65(105) which deals with the “taxable services” with specific reference to sub-clause (zm). There occurred an amendment to the Finance Act, 1994 in the year 2007, whereby the words “but does not include cash management” as it appeared in Section 65(12)(a)(v) came to be deleted. By deletion of the above words, the petitioners could be brought within the purview of tax net by the Statute itself. The provisions in a ‘taxation Statute’ have to be interpreted strictly, as made clear by the Apex Court. But when ”all sorts of fund management” were sought to be taxed, giving exception only to ‘cash management’ under the unamended provision and when it came to be excluded after the amendment to Section 65(12)(a)(v) in the year 2007, this Court finds that, each and every instance of ‘fund management’ need not be separately mentioned in the provision, to attract the tax liability. Even as per the unamended Statute, when the exception was only to a limited extent i.e., in respect of ‘cash management’, the deletion of the exception has revived “all forms of fund management” with full vigour and vitality, which cannot be watered down. To put in other words, the term “all forms of fund management” forms the genus, of which, ‘cash management’ is one of the species. The exception given to the specie (cash management) is taken away by deleting the same in the year 2007, after which, all forms of fund management become taxable. It has to be noted that, there is absolutely no challenge against the statutory provision i.e., in respect of the amendment brought about in the year 2007 and this being the position, the tax liability stands governed, not by virtue of the Circular, but by virtue of the amended provision. The idea and understanding of the petitioners to the contrary, is quite wrong and misconceived.(Para 13, 15, 29).

The scope of interference especially with regard to taxing laws has been explained by another Constitution Bench of the Apex Court in Federation of Hotel & Restaurant v. Union of India - 1989 KHC 957 = (1989) 3 SCC 634 = AIR 1990 SC 1637 = 1989 (178) ITR 97 = 1989 (74) STC 102 more particularly in paragraphs 46, 47 and 48. In Karnataka Bank Ltd. v. Stale of Andhra Pradesh and Others - 2008 KHC 4140 = (2008) 2 SCC 254 = 2008 (1) SCALE 660, it has been held that, any interpretation which renders a legislation unconstitutional, is to be avoided. In the above facts and circumstances, this Court finds it difficult to agree with the proposition mooted by the petitioners in these writ petitions and disagrees with the view expressed by the Division Bench of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in 2009 (13) S.T.R. 350 (A.P.)(Para 39,40)

Petitions dismissed.
