ver of Commercial Taxes have kindly consented to grace the occasion with their expert views. In Service Tax, vide N No 36/2016 The MoF has exempted the taxable services of transportation of goods by a vessel from outside India upto the customs station in India with respect to which the invoice has been issued on or before the 31st May, 2016, from the whole of service tax In Central Excise , Notification No. 30/2016-Central Excise (N.T.) dated 28.06.2016 has specified that – (i) a person who is registered as a first stage dealer shall not be required to take registration as an importer; or (ii) a person who is registered as an importer shall not be required to take registration as a first stage dealer. This comes as a relief to assesses. Further , In order to improve and facilitate trade and business in the 'year of tax payers' services, the CBEC had set up the post of Indirect Tax Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is independent of the jurisdiction of the Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax Department For this, THE INDIRECT TAX OMBUDSMAN GUIDELINES 2011 has been introduced w.e.f. 11.05.2011 and 7 posts of Indirect Tax Ombudsman has been set up (in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai. Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Lucknow) for the resolution of complaints relating to public grievances against the Customs, Central Excise an d Service Tax Department. We do hope that The Commercial Taxes Dept. takes a leaf out of the book of the CBEC and sets up something of this kind at the state level. In Income Tax, The CBDT, Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Government of India vide Notification No. 53/2016 dated 24.06.2016 has given relaxation to Non-residents, not being a company, or a foreign company and not having permanent account number. Provisions of Sec 206AA shall not apply i.e TDS at higher rate of 20% will not be deducted in respect of certain payments to them on compliance of certain procedural requirements. All the above publications have been dealt with in this bulletin in detail. Just to reiterate that we remain available over a telecom or e-mail.

M/S VINAYAK INDUSTRIES VERSUS CCE & ST, JAIPUR- I [CESTAT NEW DELHI] BRIEF: The process of chilling of milk amounts to manufacture and the process amounting to manufacture cannot be made liable to service tax. OUR COMMENTS : In the above case, the assessee is engaged in chilling of milk for his customer. The revenue raised a service tax demand on the assessee alongwith with interest and penalty contending that the activity undertaken by assessee falls under business auxiliary service. As per assessee, under Chapter Note 6 of Chapter 4 of Central Excise Tarif,f the process of chilling of milk amounts to manufacture and therefore the said activity is outside the purview of service tax Chapter Note 6 to Chapter 4 read as follows: ^ In relation to products of this Chapter labelling or relabeling of containers or repacking from bulk packs to retail packs or the adoption of any other treatment to render the product marketable to the consumer, shall a

However with good understanding of al l the provisions under Service Tax & VAT which hit Wor ks Contracts & proper planning, Trade & Industry can not only avo id litigation but can also save around 5% - 10% on indirect taxes which by no means is an ordinary saving in the competitive market. For Trade & Industry, the problems on the subject have been many. Over the last few years we have received queries and replied to the issues at various forums. Vide this publication, we have made an attempt to cover in detail all issues related to Service Tax: Valuation, Point of Taxation, Place of Taxation, Abatement, Reverse Charge, Input Tax Credit Mechanism & VAT: Contractual Transfer Price, Modes of Valuation, WIP, STDS as well as GST . We have also focused on the issues faced by various sectors on account of Works Contract. This book is divided into Seven Parts covering several broad areas. Each area has the provisions directly from the Statue in the beginning and detailed discussions on the provisions in the form of questions and answers thereafter. Since litigations on the subject have been manifold, we have also covered judicial pronouncements extensively.
