Issues: Whether coal imported for use in job work undertaken by a registered dealer was brought into the State in connection with its business so as to justify issuance of Form 31 under the UP Sales Tax Act, 1948.
Analysis: The definition of "business" under Section 2(aa) of the Act is wide and includes trade, commerce, manufacture, and transactions ancillary to, connected with, or incidental to such activity. It also excludes only activities in the nature of mere service or profession that do not involve purchase or sale of goods. Coal purchased and imported for use in processing raw material for manufacturing and job work is itself part of the dealer's business activity because it involves purchase of goods and is connected with the manufacturing process. The exclusionary part of the definition does not apply where the activity necessarily requires purchase of coal and is integrally linked with the dealer's commercial operations.
Conclusion: The coal imported for job work was in connection with the dealer's business, and Form 31 could not be refused on the ground that the coal would be used for job work. The contrary view of the High Court and the Assistant Commissioner was set aside.
Ratio Decidendi: A transaction is within "business" when it is ancillary to or connected with manufacturing or commercial activity and involves purchase of goods used in that activity, even if the particular use is described as job work or service.
