2024 (3) TMI 1177 - AT - Service TaxShort payment of service tax - service of Authorised Service Station for Motor Vehicle servicing and repairing - non-addition of the value of consumable used while providing service to vehicle owners and free service commission in the taxable value - HELD THAT - The issue as regards includability of the cost of spares in the gross taxable value is in contradiction as regards Circulars dated 05.03.2003 and 23.08.2007. It is observed that positive findings need to be recorded on the basis of factual verification as regards existence of separate bills for spare parts and/ or payment of sales tax/VAT thereon before arriving to the conclusion to drop demand. It is found that separate invoices were not found as regards the Assessee having carried out installations on CNG kits that despite the assessee having carried out such installations and paid VAT thereon it cannot be ipso facto concluded that they have not rendered any taxable service and are not liable to service tax. Therefore in the interest of justice the said issues need to be examined in depth. The issue needs to be remanded to the adjudicating authority for reconsidering the value for demand taking to consideration the dispute raised in the show cause notice and submissions made by both the sides. The appeal is allowed by way of remand to the adjudicating authority to decide the issues de-novo.
