Validity of assessment order - inclusion/ addition of coffee...

Validity of assessment order - inclusion/ addition of coffee husk in the total turnover of the petitioner - The generation of residue such as coffee husk and sale or transfer of goods in any manner contemplated by the Act, certainly attract the incidence of tax, but not as noted above, i. e., generation and self-consumption. Being an indirect tax, the dealer, for self- consumption of coffee husk, is not obligated to include in turnover or pay VAT. The Department certainly failed in establishing that in the case on hand, the coffee husk is not consumed for self, but was sold by the dealer. - HC
