Transportation of goods by road, Service Tax

Transportation of goods by road


  • Contents

In an adjudication, we have taken a stand that coal transported out of mining area to railway siding through public road, cannot be a mining service. It is a transportation (GTA) service being not confined to mining area and thereby, the consignee is liable to pay tax (with erstwhile abatement of 75%). I need case law(s) to support our argument. Can any one help me ?

Dear Debtosh Dey,

Please confirm following

  1. Whether the transporter had issued consignment notes to you?
  2. On what basis you claimed the abatement? Whether any declaration from the transporter had been obtained that they had not availed the CENVAT credit on Input Services, Inputs and on capital goods?

Regards,

Yes, we had issued consignment notes to mine owner. Since GTA service as we understand, for use of public road to transport off the mines, we did not charge service tax as the mine owner (a company), was liable to pay tax. We did declare this in the invoices and have not availed Cenvat against this service. As notifications on mining are not clear, I need a case law reference as stated earlier.

Dear Sir,

In my view, the stand taken by you is correct and legally sustainable. Subject to the terms of the agreement, you are providing GTA service to the mining company and issuing consignment note so the service tax thereon (after abatement) shall be payable by the person liable to pay freight.

Thanks. There are some flaws in scoping for mining service for which, the department tends to extend it till wagon loading outside mines. That is why, I am looking for relevant case law.
