Central excise

My client has an SSI unit who were were under Central Exise for whom 1.5 cr is exempted every year (not crossed 4 cr in any previous year)

During FY 10-11 they had opted for Central excise payment from 1st of April itself and paid duties till july. During Aug this unit shifted their premises to new location which comes in different range and commissionerate in same city. Before shifting they have surrendered the license.

After shifting to new unit they have not gone for execise regn immdlty and not charged duties in their bills from Aug to Nov. They have taken new license when total company turnover neared 1.5 cr (including 50 laksh done in previous premises)

My queries are:

- is there any issue because they have not taken new license in new premises immdlty and not started paying duty immdlty.
- Are they now liable for duty payment during the period they have not registered or not charged to customers.(Aug to nOv revenue in new premises)
- if they are liable to pay - can they charge this to customers to customer through debit note and can customers take cenvat credit based on this debit note. (they were not having registration during the period of this billing in new premises)

- Is there any provision for a company if they wish to surrender the license in middle of the year and re-start again?
- is there any case laws on this

Exise

For the FY 2010-11 is there any circular by the excise department which says that 100% input credit on capital goods can be taken in the first year itself? Earlier it was that 50% was to be taken in the first year and the balance in the next year

Whether vat levy on discount on purchases is taxable?

400000/- is debited to Discount on purchases.the amt has been debited to Trading A/c and had reduced from total purchases.But the supplier has not claimed any credit for the same i.e.had paid all the vat according to our gross purchases.He had also forwarded the undertaking for not reversing the tax into his returns. But ,the vato is unsatisfied & had determined the tax,interest & penalty thereon.
In fact,the dealer has received the credit note after every quarter. It is also confirmed by the supplier that he had forwarded the credit note on A/c of Turnover discount and paying off the amt of said purchases before time i.e.cash discount.BUT,ONE ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE DISCOUNT HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM THE PURCHASES IN OUR BALANCE SHEET WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED TO CONCERN AUTHORITY.PL.ADVICE ME CAN WE CHALLENGE HIS ORDER AND IF POSSIBLE PL.GUIDE ME THE SUITABLE CITATIONS.BOTH THE SALER & BUYER ARE REGD DEALER FROM DELHI.THX.

Excise and dgft query

QUERY FOR OPINION

FACTS

1. The company is a SSI unit in Rajasthan, manufacturing marble slabs (which is excisable at INR 30 per square meter) and availing exemption under SSI on grounds of turnover being below INR 1.50 crores (the “Company”) .The Company is not registered under central excise as it is exempt. The Company has a Bombay office which trades in marble slabs and has a high turnover, but it is purely trading.

2. For year 2008-2009, the total turnover of the Company’s manufacturing unit was INR 1.34 crores.

3. In year 2009-2010, the Company was allotted license to import marble blocks which the Company imported. But, instead of getting the raw material to the Company’s manufacturing unit, the Company got it processed on job-work basis in Silvassa from other manufacturers and the job-worker duly paid excise on such goods removed. The Company was entitled to receive CENVAT credit but did not claim any credits as it was not registered. We are counting this as a trading activity of the Company’s Rajasthan unit and not manufacturing activity and are not counting this turnover (approximately INR 5 crores) for basic exemption limit of INR 1.5 crore.

4. For the year 2009-2010, the situation for the Company was:
Manufacturing turnover at factory : INR 40 lacs
Trading turnover at Silvassa : INR 8.25 crores
(We are counting the job-work turnover as trading turnover because the blocks have not gone to the factory of the Company at all and we have processed the goods outside in other factories and sold them also from outside, i.e. Silvassa.)

5. Similarly, for the year 2010-11, the situation for the Company turns out to be:
Manufacturing turnover at factory: INR 40 lacs
Trading turnover at Silvassa : INR 9.60 crores

QUERY

1. Will the trading turnover be counted as manufacturing turnover for the purpose of calculating excise exemption limit of INR 1.5 crores and also for the registration limit of INR 4 crores, or given the facts above we can still continue to enjoy exemption under SSI registration because the manufacturing turnover is below INR 1.5 crores?

2. Director General of Foreign Trade (hereinafter referred to as the “DGFT”) related query: We are allotted license on actual user condition to import marble blocks and sell them after processing. We are of the view that as per DHFT law under actual user condition, it is not compulsory for the importer to process goods in its own factory only, but the importer can also get it processed on job-work basis from other manufacturers and then sell the finished goods. By doing so yhe importer complies with actual user condition . Is our view correct and legally tenable? Such sale i.e sale done on jobwork basis outside the unit has been counted by us as manufacturing turnover for the purpose of license allocation in DGFT only , but for excise purposes as per provisions of excise it has been taken as trading turnover because of the facts mentioned above. Although the Company is exempt, it has paid excise on all the goods processed at Silvassa because we do not consider it as part of manufacturing activity and so the jobworker paid excise then we sold the goods and count it as a trading activity. Is this legally coorrect?

Also, in this regard please note that the concerned government department has verbally conveyed to us that since the marble blocks were imported by us, then processed in the job-workers’ factory and then sold, they will not come under the purview of trading activity as the form of raw material has changed from blocks to slabs. Is this a legally tenable objection? Our view is that even if the form has changed, it does not amount to manufacturing activity of the unit, as the activity is taking place totally outside the Company’s factory. Is this view correct and legally tenable?
