Maruti Suzuki India Limited, holding that expenses incurred by dealers under the Joint Advertisement and Sales Promotion Policy (JASP) were not additional consideration for sale. It was determined that the appellant had no enforceable legal right to mandate advertisements by dealers, as they were not uniformly undertaken. Similarly, the cost of promotional materials provided to dealers was not considered additional consideration, as there was no direct link to vehicle sales and dealers were not legally obligated to purchase them. The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeals and rejected the Department's claims, emphasizing the lack of enforceable legal obligations on dealers for both JASP expenses and promotional material purchases. en-us Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=31997 The Tribunal ruled in favor of M/s.
