The tribunal held that compressors used in car air conditioning units are classifiable under CTH 8414 8011 as gas compressors per Note 2(a) to Section XVII of CTA, 1985. The court rejected revenue's argument that prior classification under different CTH creates estoppel, citing established principle that no estoppel exists in taxation matters. The Westinghouse Saxby Farmers precedent regarding predominant use test was deemed inapplicable as it pertained to different section notes. The tribunal set aside the impugned order and allowed the appeal. en-us Wed, 11 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 15:03:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=758700 The CESTAT Chennai ruled on classification of imported car air conditioning compressors between CTH 8415 9000 (revenue's position) and CTH 8414 8011 (appellant's position).
