Deemed sale or not - right to use the software - Antivirus Software license key/code supplied by the respondent along with CD/DVD replicated with Quick Heal Brand Antivirus Software through dealers/distributors to the EndCustomers is liable to Service Tax or not - The artificial segregation of the transaction, as in the case on hand, into two parts is not tenable in law. It is, in substance, one transaction of sale of software and once it is accepted that the software put in the CD is “goods”, then there cannot be any separate service element in the transaction. It is so because even otherwise the user is put in possession and full control of the software. It amounts to “deemed sale” which would not attract service tax. - SC
