Tribunal rules in favor of Plastichemix Industries in service tax appeal
The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, Plastichemix Industries, in an appeal against a service tax demand for Business Exhibition Service provided by a foreign service provider. The Tribunal held that since the services were entirely performed outside India, they were not subject to service tax under Section 66A of the Finance Act, 1994. Therefore, the appellant was not liable for service tax, and the demand was set aside, with consequential relief granted. The judgment was delivered on 19.5.2017 by Member (Technical) Ashok K. Arya.
Issues: Appeal against service tax demand for Business Exhibition Service provided by a foreign service provider, whether service tax is applicable for services performed outside India.
Analysis: The appellant, Plastichemix Industries, appealed against the demand of service tax for Business Exhibition Service received from a foreign service provider during 2006-2011. The appellant argued that since the service was rendered outside India, it should not be taxable unless performed wholly or partly in India. The appellant relied on Section 66A of the Finance Act, 1994, which states that service tax is applicable if the service is received in India. The Taxation of Services Rules, 2006, specifies that services performed in India are taxable, and if partly performed in India, they are deemed to be performed in India. The appellant contended that there was no performance or receipt of service within India. The Tribunal referenced a similar case where it was held that services entirely performed outside India are not taxable. Therefore, the appellant was not liable for service tax as the services were fully performed outside India.
The Tribunal analyzed the statutory provisions, facts, and submissions, concluding that the appellant did not provide or receive any service within India. Citing the case law, the Tribunal emphasized that services performed entirely outside India are not subject to service tax. As the Business Exhibition Service in question was entirely performed outside India, it was not taxable. The Tribunal set aside the demand for service tax and allowed the appeal, providing consequential relief to the appellant. The judgment was pronounced on 19.5.2017 by Member (Technical) Ashok K. Arya.
