Dear Arora Ji,

If you are sending goods on job work then you will fall under Central Excise, simultaneously if you are receiving services mentioned under notification 30/2012 dated 20.06.2012 of Service Tax, then you may fall under Service Tax also.

If you state the exact nature of serviced provided to you then i can guide you.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Panday ji,

Proprietory concern is doing powder coating job work on electrical goods (like on MCB, Tube Lights) , we receive goods in delhi from Companies and after doing powder coating we return it to haridwar, (haridwar is excise exemption zone ) , whether proprietory concern is liable to charge excise or not.

 Thanks and regards

Dear Arora Ji,

From your reply it is clear that:-

1. You are receiving goods for job work.

2. After job work is finished you returned the goods to Manufacturer who had sent it to you.

Hence as per provisions of Central Excise (Job Work) Rules, 2004 it can't be deemed to be manufacture. As, if goods sent for Job work are returned withing 180 days no excise duty is payable either by Manufacturer or Job worker subject to conditions place of removal of those goods are not the premises of job worker. Once the goods are received by Manufacturer in his premises, then only on removal therefrom for a consideration, excise duty liability occurs. If the goods are cleared from premises of Job worker then either manufacturer or Job worker can pay the excise duty.  

In your case, since you are not clearing the goods rather you are returning the goods to seller after job work, no excise duty liability occurs on your shoulders.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Pandey ji,

Kindly also guide me on service tax liability on this Job work case.

Thanks & regards

Mr. Arrora,

Mr. Pandey has already clarified about Excise liability. As regards service tax liability, production or processing of goods on behalf of principal manufacturer (although falling under Business Aux Service) is exempted from Service Tax, provided principal manufacturer pays 'appropriate duty' on the goods so processed or on the goods in which these powder coated goods are used.

Just confirm whether the principal manufacturer sends goods for job-work to you under Rule 4 (5)a of CCR, 2004 OR whether he pays duty on the final product made out of such processed goods.

If powder coating amounts to manufacture, then it will not attract service tax at all !!

In case, the process undertaken amounts to manufacture. benefit of 214/86 would not be available to job worker as principal is exempted from payment of duty and job worker will have to pay duty.

in case it does not amount to manufacture. service tax will be payable as no appropriate duty is being paid by the principal to claim service tax exemption

whether ,I have to bifurcate the labour or material value otherwise if it not possible to bifurcate, then on which value.

Dear Sir

We are a Pvt Ltd Company, manufacturing company at chennai running the Powder coating Job work activities receiving job work from local Principle Manufacturer and we are doing the job work includes consumables (Powder Coating) for their client . so pl give opinion whether we should raise invoice with EXCISE or SERVICE TAX.

AI Summary

Job work taxability: powder coating may not attract excise if goods returned; service tax exempt if principal pays appropriate duty. Powder coating job work where goods are received from a manufacturer and returned to that manufacturer within the job-work period is not treated as manufacture for central excise and ordinarily attracts no excise duty on the job worker; intermediate production processes including powder coating are exempt from service tax if the principal manufacturer pays the appropriate duty on the processed goods or on goods incorporating them, whereas if the process amounts to manufacture or appropriate duty is not paid, alternate excise/service tax consequences arise.
