Issues: Whether the turnover arising from lease rentals or hire charges could be taxed under section 5-E of the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957 when the underlying transaction was treated as an inter-State sale and deemed sale.
Analysis: The turnover in dispute was assessed as rental or hire charges under the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957. The Tribunal had found that the transactions constituted deemed sales and, on the facts found, were inter-State sales. The Court followed its earlier decision applying the principle that where the transaction is an inter-State sale, the State sales tax law does not fasten liability on the same turnover. In view of the Tribunal's finding and the governing precedent, the disputed turnover was not liable to tax under the State Act.
Conclusion: The issue was decided in favour of the assessee. The disputed turnover was held not taxable under the Andhra Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1957.
