Case Laws Service Tax AT

CESTAT determined that screening and grading of iron ore constitutes mining services under MMDRA Act, 1957. The tribunal classified the appellant's services as mining services effective 01.06.2007, rejecting prior classification as Business Auxiliary Service. Supreme Court precedent regarding ancillary mineral preparation processes was instrumental in establishing the service's categorization. The tribunal found the activity inherently part of mining operations, thereby validating the appellant's service tax treatment. Revenue's concurrent taxation approach was acknowledged. Appeal was ultimately allowed, confirming the appellant's service classification as mining services.
