<h1>Court ruling on tax exemptions for spirits, export fees, and old boiler sale</h1> <h3>Commissioner of Sales Tax Versus M/s. Sir Sadi Lal Enterprises</h3> Commissioner of Sales Tax Versus M/s. Sir Sadi Lal Enterprises - TMI Issues:1. Exemption of inter-State sales of Rectified Spirit and Denatured Spirit along with export duty2. Taxability of export pass fee in the taxable turnover of the Assessee3. Exemption of the sale of old boiler based on a specific legal precedentAnalysis:Issue 1: Exemption of inter-State sales of Rectified Spirit and Denatured Spirit along with export dutyThe court referred to a Division Bench judgment that clarified the applicability of the United Provinces Sales of (Motor Spirit, Diesel Oil, and Alcohol) Taxation Act, 1939 as a sales tax law under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956. The court held that the payment of central sales tax on inter-State sale of alcohol was not exempted despite a general exemption under a different act. The Tribunal's decision to exempt the sales was set aside, ruling in favor of the Revenue.Issue 2: Taxability of export pass fee in the taxable turnoverThe court relied on a Division Bench judgment and a Single Judge judgment to determine the liability for the export pass fee. It was established that the export pass fee paid by the Ex. U.P. purchaser should not be included in the turnover of the Assessee. The court emphasized that the fee is the responsibility of the purchaser, not the distillery, and should not be considered part of the seller's turnover under the Central Sales Tax Act. Consequently, Question No. 2 was answered in favor of the Assessee and against the Revenue.Issue 3: Exemption of the sale of old boilerThe court noted a concurrent finding of fact regarding the exemption of the sale of an old boiler, based on a specific legal precedent. The court found no grounds for interference and decided to answer the question against the revenue. As a result, the Revision was partly allowed, setting aside the Tribunal's judgment on specific aspects and remanding the matter for further proceedings in line with the court's findings and the law.In conclusion, the judgment addressed the issues related to the exemption of inter-State sales, the taxability of export pass fees, and the exemption of a specific sale based on legal precedents, providing detailed analysis and rulings on each matter.
