Issues: Whether the value of goods and materials used in repairing electric motors was excludible from service tax where such value was separately shown in the agreement and invoices and VAT had been paid on the goods.
Analysis: The contract disclosed the cost of each item separately, the invoices separately indicated the value of goods and materials used, and VAT had been paid on the goods. In such circumstances, the mere fact that the break-up was shown for the purpose of price variation did not alter the legal position. Notification No. 12/2003-S.T. exempted the value of goods and materials sold or deemed to have been sold by the service provider, subject to documentary proof specifically indicating such value. The factual record satisfied that condition, so the Revenue's attempt to tax the entire contracted amount was unsustainable.
Conclusion: The exclusion of the separately identified value of goods and materials was held to be available, and the service tax demand and penalty could not stand.
Final Conclusion: The appeal was allowed and the impugned order was set aside, with consequential relief to the appellant.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the value of goods and materials used in providing repair or maintenance service is separately documented in the agreement and invoices and VAT is paid on that value, it cannot be included in the taxable value of the service if the exemption conditions are satisfied.
