Iam a manufacturer for wooden furniture based in Mumbai-Maharashtra…
Iam a manufacturer for wooden furniture based in Mumbai-Maharashtra state. My client is having their Head Office in Mumbai. They are dealing in Forex services and have a RBI licence and hence exempted from applying for ST/CST.
My clients ordered to make furniture for Calicut Counter to be installed at Calicut Airport, which we did and we were asked to transport the same consignment by road transport, so as to get it installed at Airport.
We prepared an Invoice in the co. name with address of their Branch in Calicut with full tax as per Maharashtra State compliance.
At Kerala road post - Muthanga my truck was stopped and has been detained. They have issued a notice to my clients - stating that since they are unregistered dealers, they have to pay tax plus the penalty - amounting to Rs. 3,46,260/-
No 'C' form was issued by them - because they are exempted from ST/CST.
The truck driver was given a) Invoice copy b) Copy of RBI certificate c) A letter from Purchaser on his letterhead saying the goods do not hold any commercial value and it is sent from HO to their Branch.
The bill amount is Rs. 9,65,600/-
My question is -
1) Whose liability is it to pay this amount?
2) Is my client eligible for a refund in case he pays this amount?
3) What should be the correct method of such transactions to avoid Interstate tax issues?
Pls send me your reply at earliest
Thanks
