The taxable service, as per section 65(72)(zb) of the Finance Act, 1994, was

any service provided, to a customer, by a photography studio or agency in relation to

photography, in any manner. Photography studio or agency has been defined as "any

professional photographer or a commercial concern engaged in the business of

rendering service relating to photography" vide section 65(48).

The service tax was payable on the gross amount charged from the customer

for the service rendered. However, the cost of unexposed photography films sold to

the customer was excluded. As per notification No. 6/2001-ST dated the 9th July,

2001, service providers who are registered under various States/Municipal laws

relating to Shops and Establishments or any other law of state which is in force for the

time being, for carrying out commercial activity only were liable to service tax.

essence, service tax is payable by shops and studios, processing and developing labs,

“if the nature of transaction involved is composite contract, of service and sale and if

the components of sale element are discernible, then both the components cannot be

re-mixed for the purpose of relevant tax.” The Court has held that service tax and sales

tax operate in two different spheres;. and service tax would be payable only on the

service component and not the whole amount of the consideration.

Further, it held that it is possible for the State to tax the sale element provided

there is a discernible sale and only to the extent relatable to such sale. However,

‘aspect theory’ cannot be applied to enable the value of the services to be included in

the sale of goods or the price of goods in the value of service.

What is 'aspect theory?'

' This question has been stated in Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Association of

India vs. UOI 1989 (3) SCC 634 as "Subjects which in one aspect and for one purpose

fall within the power of a particular legislature may in another aspect and for another

purpose fall within another legislative power. They might be overlapping; but the

overlapping must be in law. The same transaction may involve two or more taxable

events in its different aspects. But the fact that there is overlapping does not detract

from the distinctiveness of the aspects." The Apex Court observed that the Kerala

High court in the Escotel case erred in including the cost of the service in the value of

SIM card by relying on the aspects doctrine. They had categorically answered that the

aspect theory would not apply to enable the value of the services to be included in

the sale of goods or the price of goods in the value of services. The implication of the

above decision for the present case is that in the services relating to photography, if

certain goods and materials are consumed, then the value of those goods and

materials cannot be included in the value of the services for levy of Service Tax.

In the case of Imagic Creative P. Ltd. vs. CCT, Appeal (civil) 252 of 2008

Decision Dt. 9 January, 2008 SC (2 Judge) Hon’ble Supreme Court held that “Payments of service tax as also the VAT are mutually exclusive. Therefore, they

should be held to be applicable having regard to the respective parameters of service

tax and the sales tax as envisaged in a composite contract as contradistinguished from

an indivisible contract. It may consist of different elements providing for attracting

different nature of levy. It is, therefore, difficult to hold that in a case of this nature,

sales tax would be payable on the value of the entire contract; irrespective of the

element of service provided.” Thus, the Court held that sales tax would not be payable

on the entire value of the contract – the service element must be calculated; and sales

tax would be payable on the remainder.

“The Court began by noting that the photography contract was to be treated as a

works contract [this is settled law now, but earlier there was a controversy – see

Rainbow Colour Labs, 118 STC 9 (SC) and Associated Cement vs. Commissioner of

Customs, 2001 JT (2) SC 141]. Next, it interpreted BSNL as having laid down the

principle that “if the nature of transaction involved is composite contract, of service

and sale and if the components of sale element are discernible, then both the

components cannot be re-mixed for the purpose of relevant tax.” Consequently, a

result analogous to Imagic was reached; and the Court held that service tax and sales

tax operate in two different spheres;. and service tax would be payable only on the

service component and not the whole amount of the consideration”

In the case of M/s CAP 'N' Chops Caterers vs. State of Haryana GSTR No. 01 of

2009 Date of Decision: 7.9.2010 [H.C. Punjab& Haryana] [D.B.] it has to be held that

entire turnover from catering contract cannot be held to be taxable as sale of goods

under Section 2 (l)(v) of the Act. The sale tax can be levied on the turnover of sale,

after excluding the turnover attributable to service.

"When a photograph whether positive or negative print, is given to the

customer certainly some material property is transferred to the customer, and it

cannot be said that only the service is rendered to the customer. It often that a

customer goes to a photographer's shop, the photographer takes him in to the studio

and takes his photographs. To this extent service is rendered. Thereafter when the

photograph is handed over the customer there is transfer of goods, when the

photograph sold to the customer there is a transfer of the property in goods and it is

not merely rendering of service as is the case in a barber's shop."

dominant intention is digital printing, and not transfer of property in goods and

therefore no part of the contract price can be subjected to tax, even if the cost of vinyl

film (or other suitable material) on which the matter is printed and the cost of the ink

used for printing, constitute a part of the contract price, is clearly untenable. The test of

dominant intention is no longer relevant. A contract for digital printing is a "works

contract" and not a "service contract", even if it involves highly skilled work and

professional and technical expertise. Even if the value of material used in such a works

contract is a small percentage of the total cost, and even if the service element is the

dominant element, having regard to the decisions in Builders Association of India ; and

ACC , the value of the material used in digital printing contract will be exigible to tax.

Further the value of vinyl film and the chemicals/inks used for printing forms not a

negligible part, but a perceptible part of the price for the works contract.”

“if the nature of transaction involved is composite contract, of service and

sale and if the components of sale element are discernible, then both the components

cannot be re-mixed for the purpose of relevant tax. Processing of photography cannot

be completed without the developing and printing process, to provide the service to

the recipient. The photography films, printing papers, chemicals and envelopes are the

integral and essential ingredients to complete the process of photography. Meaning

thereby, the components of sale of photography, developing and printing etc. are

clearly distinct and discernible than that of photography service. Photography is in the

nature of works contract and it involves the elements of both sale and service,

service tax is not leviable on the sale portion.”

In the case of Commissioner Of Sales Tax vs. Matushree Textile Limited 2003

(vol 132) STC 539 Bombay H.C.[D.B.] Hon’ble High Court has held that... “It is true,

that to constitute sale, either under the Sale of Goods Act, or under the BST Act, the

intention of the parties to transfer the goods by an agreement, determination of price

of the goods to be transferred and the actual transfer of goods as per the agreement is

necessary. However, under the Works Contracts Act, the concept of deemed sale has

been introduced, as a result, irrespective of the criteria laid down under the Sale of

Goods Act or the BST Act, if, in the execution of a works contract, the property of the

materials used in the execution of that contract passes either in its original form or in

some other form, then, there is deemed sale of those materials under the Works

Contracts Act. The definition of "sale" under the Sale of Goods Act and under the BST

Act is materially different from the definition given under the Works Contracts Act. In

other words, to constitute sale under the Works Contracts Act, the only criteria

required to be fulfilled is the transfer of property in goods used in the execution of

works contract either in its original form or in some other form and not the criteria laid

down under the Sale of Goods Act or under the BST Act.(para 34)

In para 36--- Mr. Joshi strongly contended that the transfer of property in the

form of coloured shade/print is on the theory of accretion or accession which is

incidental to the contract and not by way of transfer of the materials used in the

execution of a works contract, As pointed out by the apex Court in the case of Gannon

Dunkerley & Co. [1993] 88 STC 204 at 213, the mischief or the defect in the expression

"sale" pointed out by judicial decision led to the Forty-sixth Amendment to the

Constitution. Once the mischief or the defect is remedied by bringing in the concept of

deemed sale in a works contract, then the only criteria relevant for deemed sale is the

passing of the property in goods (in any form). In other words, to constitute sale under

the Works Contracts Act, the test is, whether the materials used in the execution of a

works contract pass to the contractee either in its original form or in some other form

? If it passes, then there is deemed sale of the materials used in the execution of the

works contract even if there is no specific agreement between the parties for sale of

materials, even if the price for such sale is not agreed between the parties and even

though the materials are not delivered as materials. In the present case, due to the

chemical reaction of colours, chemicals and dyes, the inherent property in those goods

are passed on to the fabrics. The fact that after the inherent property in those goods is

transferred to the fabrics the remaining solution is thrown out as waste or affluent,

does not in any way affect the taxability on transfer of the property in goods already

effected on the fabrics. Admittedly, after dyeing, the solution made of colours,

chemicals and dyes is thrown as waste, because, on transfer of the property in the

form of coloured shade, the said solution becomes worthless. Therefore, the

Legislature has sought to tax the property in goods which passes and not the remnants

or the affluent that remains after the passing of the inherent property in those goods.”

mijksDr fl)kar ls Li"V gS fd the intention of the parties to transfer the

goods is irrelavant under the works contract.

In the case of Commissioner Of Sales Tax vs. Hari And Company on 3/3/2006;

2006 (148) STC 92 Bombey High Court [D.B.] Hon’ble High Court has held that the

moment paper and ink changed hand it will be construed as “sale” within the works

contract – Even if the dominant intention of the contract is rendering of service, it will

amount to works contract and after the forty sixth amendment, the States would be

empowered to levy sales tax on transfer of material (in any form) used in execution of

works contract – In the case of photocopying as far as paper and ink are concerned,

which are passed on, which passing of property is a deemed sale and tax is leviable on

such paper and ink under works contract.(para...31&32 )

In the case of The Commissioner, Trade Tax, U.P. vs. M/s. Aristo Printers Pvt. Ltd. E-

64, G. T. Road, Ghaziabad TTR NO. 106 OF 2003 H.C. Alld. Decision Dt.08-12-2010 Hon’ble

High Court has held that “In my view the order of the Tribunal is not sustainable.

Section 3-F of the Act levies tax on the value of goods involved in execution of works

contract. The question for consideration is whether in the printing of lottery tickets,

ink and processing materials, namely, chemicals, etc. are passed on to the customers.

Undoubtedly, ink passed on to the customers as it is apparent on the printing paper.

The inks are diluted in chemicals (processing material) and such ink in the diluted

forms are being used in the printing, therefore, both ink and chemical (processing

material) are passed on to the customers. It was not the case of the assessee at any

stage that the chemical (processing material) was consumable and evaporates in the

process of printing and is not passed on to the customers. Therefore, I am of the view

that both the ink and chemical used in the printing passed on to the customers. It may

be mentioned here that the assessee had also purchased and used consumable but

the same has not been taxed.

In view of the above, the order of the Tribunal as well as the order of the first

appellate authority are not sustainable and liable to be set aside, so far it deletes the

tax on the value of ink and processing materials, namely, chemical, the order of the

assessing authority in this regard is restored.”

1. The Commissioner Trade Tax, U.P. vs. Control Switch Gears Company Ltd., Sector –

2, NOIDA Trade Tax Revision Defective No. 73 of 2000 Decision Dt. 14-07-2010 H.C. Alld.

[D.B.]

“From a perusal of the statutory provisions reproduced above, we find that

under section 7 of the Act, a dealer is obliged to deposit the tax on the turnover

disclosed in the return. Section 8(1) of the Act provides for payment of admitted tax

within the time prescribed which under section 7(1A) is along with the return or

before submitting the return.

Explanation I to Rule 41(2) deals with the admitted tax liability to mean the tax

which is payable under the Act on the trunover as disclosed in the accounts

maintained by the dealer or admitted by him in any return or proceedings under the

Act, whichever is greater. Explanation II deals with admitted tax liability to mean the

tax payable under the Act by the dealer on his estimated turnover or both as the case

may be.

Thus, the scheme of the Act is that if a dealer does not deposit the tax payable

on the turnover as admitted by him in his return or shown in the books of account,

whichever is greater, either before or along with the filing of return than the dealer

exposes himself towards the liability of payment of interest under section 8(1) of the

Act.”

the Supreme Court in Associated Cement Companies Case above referred. Govt.

Pleader pointed out that appellant has besides inter state purchase local purchases as

well and so much so there was deliberate attempt to evade payment of tax. His

further case is that interest is payable under Section 23(3A). Considering the delay in

payment of tax and for the sake of finality we feel the orders issued by the

Commissioner can be confirmed and interest payable under the KGST Act. The appeals

are accordingly dismissed.”
