of <h1>Tribunal rules duty paid on cum-duty price appropriate, duty component should be included in sale price.</h1> <h3>M/s. Budge Budge Refineries Limited Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Kolkata-VII</h3> M/s. Budge Budge Refineries Limited Versus Commissioner of Central Excise, Kolkata-VII - TMI Issues: Valuation of waste/bye-product and the applicability of cum-duty price for goods cleared.Valuation of waste/bye-product:The case involved the manufacture of Refined Palm Oil where Fatty Acid emerged as a waste/bye-product, initially cleared without duty payment under a specific Notification. Subsequently, the Department reclassified the Fatty Acid under a different sub-heading, attracting Central Excise duty. The Appellant then paid duty based on the cum-duty price. The Department disputed this and demanded differential duty.Applicability of cum-duty price:The Appellant argued that the price realized should be deemed inclusive of duty as per an Explanation to Section 4, inserted in 2003. They also referred to a Circular clarifying that sale price includes excise duty. The Tribunal's decision in another case supported the principle that sale price should be treated as inclusive of duty component when duty cannot be separately recovered from customers.Judgment:The Tribunal found that the duty paid by the Appellant based on the cum-duty price was in order, considering the Explanation to Section 4 and the Circular. Citing a previous Tribunal decision, the Tribunal held that the demand raised on the Appellant was not sustainable. Consequently, the impugned order confirming the demand was set aside, and the Appeal filed by the Appellant was allowed.
