2021 (8) TMI 539 - AT - CustomsRefund of SAD - refund denied for not having discharged ‘appropriate’ tax on sale and for failure to correlate the invoices of sale with the bills of entry pertaining to the imports - HELD THAT:- The imported goods, upon sale in the domestic market, are entitled to post facto exemption from ‘special additional duty’ upon furnishing of sales invoices and that, despite the impugned goods being exempted from tax on sale, the eligibility for refund of special additional duties of customs is not, thereby, discountenanced. Though, in a manner of speaking, there is no specific finding that the goods claimed to have been sold were other than the goods on which ‘special additional duty’ had been discharged at the time of import, the exemption available under Maharashtra VAT Act, 2002 combined with the description in the sale invoices were stated to have caused disquiet. The appellant was unable to reconcile the difference in description and entitlement to refund was the casualty. It would appear that the absence of any clarification from the Joint Commissioner of Animal Husbandry, sought for vide letter dated 15th June 2018 and 27th June 2018, also contributed to doubt. It would be appropriate for the appellant herein to furnish all necessary information to the original authority for a proper determination that the goods, covered by the furnished invoices, were the same as those imported which is the only satisfaction prescribed in notification no. 102/2007 dated 14th September 2007 - the original authority is directed to consider the application afresh and to dispose off the claim for refund accordingly within a period of three months from the receipt of this order - appeal allowed by way of remand.
