Issues: Whether, on the terms of the railway tenders and the contemporaneous acceptance letters, the assessee's turnover for sales tax purposes included only the price of ballast supplied or also the separate charges for cartage to site, unloading, handling and stacking.
Analysis: The contract documents showed that the rate for ballast at the quarry and the charges for carriage and allied services were separately stated, and the railway letters confirmed separate acceptance of those components. On that footing, the amount received for transport and handling was not part of the sale price of the ballast itself. The statutory concept of turnover covered the amount for which goods were sold, including sums charged for work done in respect of the goods at or before delivery, but the reasoning accepted that charges separately attributable to transport and delivery, when separately agreed and charged, were not includible in the sale price. The rules relating to gross and taxable turnover did not justify adding those separate amounts where they were outside the price of the goods sold.
Conclusion: Only the cost of the ballast was liable to be included in the assessee's turnover, and the separate charges for cartage to site, unloading, handling and stacking were excluded.
Final Conclusion: The revisions succeeded to the extent that the tax computation had to be confined to the value of the ballast and not the ancillary transport and handling charges.
