After various processes, the raw hides and skins (Chapter 41) are converted in to finished leather (Chapter 41) and returned back to the Applicant's customer. The Customer (M/s Century Overseas -who is a registered person-Principal) while transporting the raw hides and skins and receiving the finished product, does not transfer the ownership to the Applicant. This is apparent in the Job Tanning order given by the customer (M/s Century Overseas). The terms and conditions stipulate that Applicant (M/s Zuha Leathers) should return the goods without any damage. Hence, it is clear that the Applicant in the instant case is the job worker, who has to process the raw hide supplied by the Principal and after tanning process (job work) return the same to the Principal. If the activity of the Applicant is a service by way of treatment or processing undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered person, it is rightly classifiable as processing of hides, skins and leather falling under Chapter 41 in the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) and as per (i)(e) (para 6.7) and applicable CGST rate is 2.5% and applicable SGST rate is 2.5%. However, if the activity of Applicant is undertaken on physical inputs (goods) which are owned by persons other than those registered under the CGST Act, then it falls within entry at item (iv) and applicable CGST rate is 9% and applicable SGST rate is 9%.
