2008 (10) TMI 583 - HC - VAT and Sales TaxYeast from molasses - refund of the trade tax which the opposite parties have realised from the petitioner through Sugar Mills on the purchase of molasses - whether the State Government is already charging tax from the petitioner under the U.P. Sheera Niyantran Adhiniyam, 1964, which is a Special enactment for molasses only and as such under the provisions of U.P. Trade Tax Act, 1948 no tax can be realised from the petitioner as it will amount to double taxation on the sale of same product i.e. molasses by the State Government under two different enactments? Held that:- Sri J.N. Mathur, learned Additional Advocate General has fairly conceded that administrative charges collected by the Sugar Mills on the purchase of the molasses by the petitioner is a tax. He has also conceded that the U.P. Sheera Niyantran Adhiniyam, 1964, being a Special enactment will override the provisions of the U.P. Trade Tax Act, which is a general Act providing for collection of taxes on sale and purchase of goods. The petitioner is entitled for the refund of the trade tax which was illegally realised and collected by the opposite parties on the purchase of the molasses through Sugar Mills of the State of U.P. subsequent to 10.3.2003.
