Tribunal Reclassifies Transport Services, Dismisses Tax Demands; Upholds Denial of CENVAT Credit on Tippers, Orders Further Review.

Case Laws     Service Tax     AT

Levy of service tax - The appellate tribunal addressed various issues raised by the appellant concerning service tax demands and CENVAT credit disallowances. They found that certain activities, such as transportation services, were wrongly classified under "Mining Services" and "Business Auxiliary Services" and should instead fall under "Goods Transport Agency Services." Consequently, they set aside the service tax demands related to these activities. Regarding CENVAT credit disallowances, the tribunal upheld the denial on tippers but remanded the matter of MS channel and angle usage for further examination.
