of <h1>Tribunal Upholds Service Tax Credit for Goods Transport to Port of Export</h1> <h3>COMMISSIONER OF C. EX., SURAT Versus COLOUR SYNTH INDUSTRIES P. LTD.</h3> COMMISSIONER OF C. EX., SURAT Versus COLOUR SYNTH INDUSTRIES P. LTD. - 2009 (14) S.T.R. 309 (Tri. - Ahmd.) , 2009 (93) RLT 469 (CESTAT - Ahmd.) , [2009] ... Issues:1. Disallowance of CENVAT credit on service tax paid on goods transport services up to the port of export.2. Determination of the place of removal for availing service tax credit.Analysis:1. The judgment revolves around the disallowance of CENVAT credit amounting to Rs. 90,944/- on service tax paid for goods transport services up to the port of export. The Original Adjudicating Authority disallowed the credit, leading to an appeal by the revenue. The Commissioner (Appeals) later allowed the benefit, prompting the revenue to appeal again.2. The revenue contended that the place of removal for availing service tax credit is the factory gate, limiting the credit only up to that point. However, the contractual evidence in this case indicated that the goods were to be supplied FOR Mumbai, the city of export. Consequently, the Commissioner determined that the place of removal should be considered as Mumbai, the place of export. Since the goods were to be sold and delivered at the place of export, the appellants were deemed eligible for the service tax credit.3. The judgment referred to a circular issued by the board and a decision of the Tribunal in Rolax Rings (P) Ltd. to support the view that the place of removal in this case is the place of export as per the contract. The service tax credit availed on outward goods transport up to the place of removal was found to be admissible under the rules. The decision cited by the respondents' advocate was deemed relevant and applicable, leading to the rejection of the revenue's appeal due to lack of merits.This detailed analysis of the judgment highlights the key issues of disallowance of CENVAT credit and the determination of the place of removal for availing service tax credit, providing a comprehensive understanding of the legal reasoning and conclusions drawn by the Tribunal in this case.
