<h1>Corporation Accused of Service Tax Evasion on Foodgrain Handling Charges; Advised to Include All Fees in Taxable Value.</h1> The Central Excise Commissionerate reported that a corporation has been avoiding appropriate Service Tax payments on handling charges related to foodgrain transportation. The corporation pays Service Tax on only 25% of transportation charges, availing a 75% abatement under Notification No. 34/2004-ST. However, they have not included handling charges, such as labor, loading, and unloading fees, in the taxable value, despite these services being provided by the same contractor. This exclusion allows them to wrongly claim a slab exemption of Rs. 750 per consignment. The corporation is advised to include handling charges in the taxable value to comply with tax regulations.
