Tribunal sets aside order, rules in favor of appellant. Precedent deems Rule 5(i) inapplicable.
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, setting aside the impugned order and allowing the appeal with any consequential relief. The judgment highlighted the inapplicability of Rule 5(i) of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, following the precedent set by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi, which rendered the provisions ultra vires of the Finance Act, 1994.
Issues Involved: Discharge of service tax liability on amount collected for postage and courier charges under banking and financial services.
Analysis: The appeal was filed against Order-in-Appeal No. IPL/202 NSK/2008 dated 15.10.2008. The core issue revolved around the service tax liability concerning the amount collected by the appellant from customers for postage and courier charges related to their banking and financial services. The revenue contended that these charges were collected during the provision of their services and should be taxable. However, the appellant argued that they only claimed the actual amount paid to the service providers for postage, telegraph, and courier services, on which they also paid service tax. The Tribunal noted that the issue was no longer res integra as the impugned order and the Adjudicating Authority relied on Rule 5(i) of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006.
The Tribunal referred to a judgment by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi in Intercontinental Consultants & Technocrats P. Ltd. 2013 (29) STR 9 (Del) where Rule 5(i) was deemed ultra vires of Section 67 of the Finance Act, 1994. Since the provisions used to confirm the service tax liability had been struck down, the Tribunal found no merit in the arguments presented by the Departmental Representative. Consequently, the impugned order was deemed unsustainable and set aside, allowing the appeal with any consequential relief.
In conclusion, the Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, setting aside the impugned order and allowing the appeal with any consequential relief. The judgment highlighted the inapplicability of Rule 5(i) of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, following the precedent set by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi, which rendered the provisions ultra vires of the Finance Act, 1994.
