Trade Tax Act | ‘Tinted Glass’ To Be Taxed As “Goods Or Wares Made Of Glass”, As it is Different from ‘Plain Glass’: Supreme CourtCase Title: M/S Triveni Glass Limited v COMMISSIONER OF TRADE TAX, U.P.Case No.: 2023 LiveLaw (SC) 896The Supreme Court has held that ‘Tinted Glass Sheet’ is different from ‘Plain Glass sheet’ and is thus liable to be taxed as “goods or wares made of glass” under Entry 4 of Notification No.5784 dated 07.09.1981, issued by State Government. Accordingly, the manufacturer of Tinted Glass is liable to pay tax @15% on such goods.The Bench comprising Justice S. Ravindra Bhat and Justice Aravind Kumar, observed that, “There is no vagueness in the notification dated 07.09.1981 and the entry No. 4 is clear and unambiguous namely it has brought within the sweep “all goods and wares made of glass” eligible to tax but not including “plain glass panes” and the exemption being the creation of the statute itself, it has to be construed strictly and even if there is any vagueness in the exemption clause must go to the benefit of the revenue.”Practice Of Conferring Senior Designation On Advocates Not Arbitrary Or Unreasonable: Supreme Court Rejects ChallengeCase Details: Mathews J.
