<h1>Inter-State Sales Tax Ruling: Turnovers Taxable as Inter-State Sales</h1> <h3>Thavakkal Agencies Versus The State of Tamil Nadu</h3> The Court held that the turnovers of Rs. 15,600 and Rs. 18,450 were subject to taxation as inter-State sales under the Central Sales Tax Act. The sales ... - Issues:1. Whether the turnover of Rs. 15,600 involving a sale at Bangalore should be taxed as inter-State sales under the Central Sales Tax Act.2. Whether the turnover of Rs. 18,450, comprising sales to buyers in Mysore and Kerala, should be considered as local sales or inter-State sales.Analysis:1. The turnover of Rs. 15,600 from a sale at Bangalore was initially reported as an inter-State sale by the dealer but later contested as a local sale. The Court determined that the sale fell under section 3(b) of the Central Sales Tax Act as the transfer of title occurred during the movement of goods from Coimbatore to Bangalore. The sale to Gurusiddappa & Sons was deemed an inter-State sale as per the Act, and the transaction was subject to taxation under the Central Sales Tax Act.2. The turnover of Rs. 18,450, involving sales to buyers in Mysore and Kerala, was claimed by the dealer to be local sales. However, the Tribunal found that the sales occasioned the movement of goods from Coimbatore to Kerala, making them inter-State sales. The evidence indicated that the buyers were outside the State purchasers, and there was no proof of delivery within the State. The Court inferred that the parties had agreed to the movement of goods to another State at the time of sale. Therefore, these transactions were considered inter-State sales and subject to taxation under the Central Sales Tax Act.In conclusion, the Court dismissed the petition, upholding that both the turnover of Rs. 15,600 and Rs. 18,450 were liable to be taxed as inter-State sales under the Central Sales Tax Act. The dealer's contentions regarding the nature of the sales were refuted based on the evidence and legal provisions. The judgment emphasized that if parties agree to goods' movement between states at the time of sale, the transaction is deemed an inter-State sale, irrespective of subsequent claims.
