The Tribunal emphasized that the agreements between the Trust, sugar factory, and transporters did not involve direct supply of labor by the Trust, but were based on tonnage of sugarcane supplied. It was determined that the activities did not fall within the definition of taxable service as recruitment or supply of manpower under the Finance Act.
