Corporate guarantees provided without consideration are not taxable under the Finance Act, 1994, as established by the Supreme Court's decision in Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise Vs Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd. The Tribunal held that for taxation u/s 66B, an activity must have a 'provider' and 'consideration' flow, which is absent in such guarantees.
