HOOKAH. WHETHER FOOD OR OTHER ARTICLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION HOOKAH. The discussion revolves around the classification of hookah under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India. The primary issue is whether hookah should be taxed as a "food or any other article for human consumption" at a reduced GST rate of 5% or as a tobacco product subject to 28% GST plus 72% Cess. The debate includes perspectives from various experts who argue that hookah, being a tobacco product, should not be categorized under the concessional GST rate meant for food items. Conversely, some argue that hookah services provided in restaurants are part of a composite supply, which includes ambiance and service, thereby qualifying for the 5% GST rate. The discussion also references legal principles and past court judgments to support differing viewpoints.
2022 (7) TMI 34 - NATIONAL ANTI-PROFITEERING AUTHORITY The NAA ruled against a company that failed to pass on GST rate reduction benefits to consumers, determining profiteered amount of Rs. 1,86,39,57,508/-. The Authority rejected all defenses including time-bar arguments, challenges to calculation methodology, claims about increased customs duty, and constitutional challenges. NAA held that Section 171 mandates commensurate price reductions as the only acceptable method of passing benefits, ruling that increased product quantity/grammage, post-supply discounts, or passing higher benefits on certain SKUs were not valid compliance methods. The company must reduce prices and deposit the profiteered amount with interest into Consumer Welfare Funds.

VAT , Service Tax , SB Cess on Packing charges ? A query was raised about the applicability of VAT, Service Tax, and SB Cess on packing charges for food delivered from a restaurant in New Delhi. The response clarified that packing costs are part of the product cost and subject to VAT, Excise, Service Tax, and SB Cess. The vendor can claim VAT credit on packing materials. However, the levy of Service Tax on food delivery is contentious, as it is not explicitly covered under the Service Tax's Negative or Exemption List, prompting sellers to charge it to avoid potential revenue loss.

1998 (12) TMI 592 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT The Court held that the supply of food and beverages by hotels and canteens constituted a service and not a sale before February 3, 1983. Thus, receipts from these transactions were not taxable under the U.P. Sales Tax Act for that period. The Tribunal's decisions were affirmed, and the revision petitions were rejected.
1989 (9) TMI 353 - WEST BENGAL TAXATION TRIBUNAL The Tribunal determined that the supply of food constituted a sale under the Forty-sixth Amendment, making it taxable under the Bengal Finance (Sales Tax) Act, 1941. However, the petitioner could be eligible for exemption under section 26A(2) if they could prove no tax was collected during a specific period. The Tribunal directed the assessing authority to revise assessments from 1972 onwards and dispose of pending assessments accordingly, with the petitioner given an opportunity to present their case. The interim order was lifted, and no costs were awarded.
1988 (3) TMI 417 - ORISSA HIGH COURT The court allowed the writ petitions, quashed the assessment orders, and remanded the cases to the Sales Tax Officer for reassessment. The assessing officer was directed to determine whether the petitioners' dominant object was service or sale and to assess sales tax accordingly. The court emphasized that if the petitioners sold food items in packets and parcels to outsiders, such turnover would be subject to sales tax. The judgment was a unanimous decision, with both judges concurring on allowing the writ petitions and remanding the cases for reassessment.
