28 March 2010 Sir,
M/s X is a sea food exporter and is now doing fish processing work for other exporters. The commissioner of Central Excise considered this activity as Business Auxiliary service and charged service tax and penalty. According to him peeling, cooking, freezing do not amount to manufacture U/s 2(f) of CE Act.
In the appeal top CE it is mentioned that the input is fish and output is ready to eat product .Moreover fresh squid is classified under heading 030741.20 and frozen food is under 0307.49.20.Similarly headings 0301 and 0302 pertains to fresh or live fish .Frozen fish is classified under 0303.Hence process is manufacture and is not liable for service tax.
Please guide me whether any additional point can be given during personal hearing.

For indirect tax payment refer CBEC notification 02/2010 dated 19/01/2010 and notification 04/2010 dated 19/02/2010.
