Facts of the Case
The applicant was engaged in surface coating on old and worn out goods received from customers. It filed an application for advance ruling to determine taxability of activity of surface coating on old, used or worn-out goods.
AAR Held
The Authority for Advance Ruling observed that applicant would restore the old or damaged goods into good condition and also improved the functionality of the said goods, by the impugned activities. In the instant case, old, worn out cutting tools and components/goods would be converted into reusable cutting tools and components/goods. The end users therefore in the instant case can’t be termed as principal as referred in a Job work process. Therefore, it would be treated as an activity of repair and would fall under SAC 9987 and attract GST at 18%.
