Issues: (i) Whether the value of goods used in the execution of a works contract becomes taxable as sale when the goods are incorporated in the works rather than when the entire contract is completed; (ii) Whether the assessee was entitled to avoid tax on the structure by relying on tax already paid on iron and steel allegedly purchased within the State and used as raw material.
Issue (i): Whether the value of goods used in the execution of a works contract becomes taxable as sale when the goods are incorporated in the works rather than when the entire contract is completed.
Analysis: By virtue of the constitutional enlargement of the definition of sale under Article 366 and the corresponding amendment to section 2(h) of the U.P. Trade Tax Act, 1948, the value of goods involved in the execution of a works contract is treated as a sale by legal fiction. The taxable event occurs when the goods are incorporated in the works contract, not when the entire work is finally completed. The principle applied is that property in the goods passes on incorporation in the works.
Conclusion: The value of goods used in the execution of the works contract was taxable at the stage of incorporation.
Issue (ii): Whether the assessee was entitled to avoid tax on the structure by relying on tax already paid on iron and steel allegedly purchased within the State and used as raw material.
Analysis: The finding recorded was that the goods purchased were not the same as the items actually used in the execution of the works contract. Since the items used in the contract had not suffered tax, payment of tax on the purchased raw materials could not confer exemption or immunity from tax on the value of the goods actually incorporated in the works.
Conclusion: The assessee was not entitled to the benefit of prior tax payment on the raw materials.
Final Conclusion: The revisions were rejected and the assessment of tax on the value of goods used in the works contract was upheld.
Ratio Decidendi: In a works contract, the taxable sale of goods occurs on incorporation of the goods in the contract work, and prior tax payment on different raw materials does not exclude tax on the value of the goods actually used and incorporated.
