Cce Chandigarh vs M/S R.K. Construction

Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal20 January 2015

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The value of cement and steel supplied free of charge by the client to a service provider is includable in the taxable value for service tax, so that the 67% abatement under Notification No. 15/2004 is computed on that gross value, the point being governed by the Larger Bench decision in Bhayana Builders (P) Ltd v. CST Delhi and therefore not open to reconsideration.

Final Order No.50673/2015

Per: P.S. Pruthi

1. Revenue is in appeal against the impugned Order-in-Appeal passed by Commissioner (Appeals) holding that the value of Cement/Steel supplied free of charge to the appellant by their client is includable in the value on which service tax is payable, for consideration of abatement of 67% in terms of Notification No.15/2004, dt.10.09.2004. We find that the issue is no longer res-integra and is settled by the decision of the Larger Bench in the case of Bhayana Builders (P) Ltd Vs CST Delhi - 2010 (32) STR 49 (Tri-LB).

2. Accordingly, the appeal is rejected.
