The Finance Bill, 2003 amends customs and indirect tax provisions by increasing certain tariff headings for edible fats while leaving effective duty unchanged, prescribing government prescribed methods for ascertaining retail sale price with field officers performing ascertainment, and expanding service tax coverage to repair and servicing of light motor vehicles. Notifications reduce or exempt basic customs duty and SAD on targeted inputs and capital goods, expand concessional lists for textile machinery, and extend concessional treatment to specific machines and parts. Central excise measures introduce turnover based exemptions for small textile and garment clearances, substitute specific duties for certain edible oils and vanaspati, extend exemptions on select goods, and adjust the CENVAT input stock relevant date; retrospective North East exemption amendments require period aggregation for liability and credit calculations.
