M/S Maruti Suzuki Ltd vs Commr.Of Central Excise-Iii,Delhi on 17 August, 2009
24. The catena of decisions, pertaining as they do to the nexus
between the 'output service' and 'input services', cited by Learned
Authorised Representative traverse to the stage after determination of
eligible manufacturer or provider of service. The case of Revenue
being the denial of such status to the appellant-assessee is not
furthered by the principles laid down in Commissioner of Central

Calcutta Chromotype Ltd. vs Collector Of Central Excise, Calcutta on 31 March, 1998
25. Again, in our view, the reliance placed by Learned Authorised
Representative on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
Calcutta Chromotype Ltd v. Collector of Central Excise, Calcutta
[1998 (99) ELT 202 (SC)] is misplaced as the issue therein pertained
to the assessable value of goods alleged to have been cleared through
related person and, thereby, enunciating the scope for 'lifting of the
corporate veil' but we take note of the observation that
'... The Court said that tax planning may be legitimate provided it
is within the framework of law. Colourable devices, however,
cannot part of tax planning. Dubious methods resorting to artifice
or subterfuge to avoid payment of taxes on what really is income
can no longer be applauded and legitimised as splendid work by a
wise man but has to be condemned punished with severest of
penalties. If we examined the thrust of all the decisions, there is no
part on the authorities to lift the veil of company, whether a
manufacturer or a buyer, to see it was not wearing the mask of not
being treated as a related person when, in fact, both, the
manufacturer and the buyer, are in fact the same persons....... It is,
however, difficult to lay down any broad principle as to when
corporate veil should be lifted or if on doing that, could it be said
that the assessee and the buyer are related persons. That will
depend on the facts and circumstances of each case and it will
have to be seen who's calling the shots in the assessee and the
buyer.'
which suggests that this access is not to be applied across the board. In
the present circumstance, the existence of a surrogate of the
broadcaster is mandated by law and not just for the purposes of
taxation. There can be no subterfuge or artifice when the State so
legislates. The relationship between the overseas entity and the
appellant-assessee is open and declared and the tax law sought to be
invoked against the latter is not premised on the existence of a
relationship between the two. The laudable morality that guided the

widening of investigative jurisdiction cannot be read out of context to
impute an allegation that is not acknowledged in the law pertaining to
levy of service tax.

The decision of Tribunal in Modiopon Ltd v.

absence of deeming fiction in the taxable entry discards consideration
of this submission on behalf of Revenue.
