<h1>CESTAT excludes fees from assessable value in Mumbai valuation dispute</h1> <h3>Niphad SSK Ltd Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Nasik</h3> Niphad SSK Ltd Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Nasik - TMI Issues: Valuation dispute regarding inclusion of certain fees in assessable value of goods.The judgment by the Appellate Tribunal CESTAT, Mumbai, involved an appeal against a demand of duty and penalty. Despite the absence of representation for the appellant, the Tribunal proceeded with the case. The issue at hand was a valuation dispute concerning whether amounts collected by the assessee from customers as administrative fee/export fee should be included in the assessable value of goods cleared during a specific period. The appellant relied on a previous Tribunal decision in Commissioner vs Kisan Sahkari Chini Mills Ltd, where it was held that such fees fell within the ambit of 'other taxes' and should be excluded from the assessable value. The learned JDR acknowledged that the Tribunal's decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court, settling the issue against the Revenue. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal, as the issue had been conclusively settled by the apex court in favor of the assessee.
