CENTRAL EXCISE SECTION

2008-TIOL-102-CESTAT-AHM.doc

Central Excise – 100% EOU – valuation of goods cleared in DTA – demand of duty by adopting the FOB value of export goods for goods cleared in DTA is not sustainable - value of DTA clearances need not necessarily be same as that of value of export - The value of exports could be different for different customers, especially if the exports are to different countries - In the present case, it has not been disputed that the value adopted for payment of duty for DTA clearances is the transaction value.;

ST - Cenvat Credit of tax paid on GTO service availed - Matter is pending with Larger Bench - Pre-deposit waived: MUMBAI CESTAT;

2008-TIOL-97-CESTAT-BANG.doc

In the present case, it is seen from records that the respondents had not collected Service Tax separately. It is not the case of the Revenue that they collected the Service Tax and did not pay the same to the Government. In these circumstances, the principle enunciated in the case of M/s. Maruti Udyog Ltd, has been followed by the lower authority to grant the Cum-duty benefit to the respondents. We cannot find any strong grounds for differing from the lower authority or the Commissioner: BANGALORE CESTAT;

2008-TIOL-96-CESTAT-AHM.doc
