Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Principles of natural justice violated as petitioner denied opportunity of hearing before passing adverse order. Coordinate bench ruling in BHARAT MINT case affirmed – assessing authority mandated to afford opportunity of personal hearing, irrespective of assessee's choice marked. In context of heavy civil liability assessment order, minimal opportunity of hearing essential to ensure reasoned order and better appreciation at appeal stage.

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The petitioner challenged the order imposing tax liability and penalty for wrongful availment of CENVAT credit, alleging violation of principles of natural justice and non-consideration of explanations. The HC quashed the order, observing non-application of mind by authorities, non-production of relied-upon documents to petitioner, and failure to examine petitioner's explanations supported by expert opinions regarding use of raw materials in manufacturing process. The HC directed authorities to examine fabrics, provide report copy to petitioner, grant fair hearing opportunity, and pass reasoned order, upholding principles of audi alteram partem and concluding severe prejudice caused to petitioner due to lack of proper hearing. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The petitioner sought reimbursement of the additional 6% GST paid from 01.01.2022 to 30.09.2022, as the respondents were paying bills with 12% GST while the petitioner was paying 18% GST. The court held that Respondent No. 4, the State GST Department, confirmed the GST rate was enhanced from 12% to 18%, which Respondent No. 2, a government entity, is liable to pay. Respondent No. 2 was directed to pay the petitioner the 6% GST difference from 01.01.2022 to 30.09.2022 within three months, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to 6% interest per annum from the date of entitlement.

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – In the present case, the authorities levied penalty u/s 129(1)(b) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 read with Section 20 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act. However, the court observed that the authorities neither challenged the invoice nor the e-way bill produced by the petitioner, nor questioned the purchase of areca nuts from a third party, which were being supplied by the petitioner to the consignee. The petitioner relied on Circular No. 76/50/2018-GST, which states that if an invoice or specified document accompanies the consignment, either the consignor or consignee should be deemed the owner. The court also relied on a Division Bench judgment, which held that the Department is bound by the aforesaid circular, and if the invoice mentions the consignor's name, the consignor shall be deemed the owner. Consequently, the court quashed the order dated November 6, 2024, as illegal and unjustified, and directed the authorities to pass an order u/s 129(1)(a) and release the goods and vehicle upon payment of the penalty in accordance with the law. The writ petition was disposed of. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – E-Way Bill was not properly filled, but upon inspection, no discrepancy was found between the physically available goods and the goods disclosed in the E-Way Bill. The assessee claimed no intent to evade tax. The authorities did not find any intent to evade tax. The High Court held that in cases of mere technical breaches, where substantial compliance is disclosed, physical inspection tallies with the goods declared in the E-Way Bill, and no intent of tax evasion is made out, proceedings u/s 129 of the GST Act become vitiated. Consequently, the impugned order was quashed, and the petition was allowed. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The court held that the goods were accompanied by relevant documents like e-way bill, tax invoice, and the HSN code and quantity mentioned therein matched the actual goods. Despite the goods being physically verified as PVC Aluminum Mixed Cable (Feeder Cable) instead of aluminum cable, the HSN code and tax rate remained the same. The authority failed to prove any material difference in HSN code or tax rate from the invoices. The court quashed the detention order, stating that once the HSN code and tax rate match, no adverse inference can be drawn, as the petitioner would not gain by misdescribing the goods, nor would the state lose legitimate tax. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Dismissal of an appeal by the petitioner against an assessment order. The dismissal was primarily due to the petitioner filing an online appeal without submitting a certified physical copy of the assessment order, instead providing a downloaded copy. The High Courts unanimously held that the amendment to Rule 108, effective from 26.12.2022, is procedural and retrospective, relying on Indian Potash Ltd. v. Deputy Commissioner and Oaknorth (India) Pvt. Ltd. v. Union of India. The courts agreed that rejecting an appeal on hyper-technical grounds is untenable, especially when filed timely with a downloaded copy. Consequently, the impugned appellate order was set aside, the appeal restored to the appellate authority for a merit-based decision in accordance with the law. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Eligibility criteria for GST exemption on hostel accommodation services, the requirement for GST registration based on turnover, the applicable GST rate for hostel accommodation services, and the tax treatment of in-house food supply as part of hostel services. The key points are: hostel accommodation services do not qualify as a 'residential dwelling for use as residence' and are ineligible for GST exemption under the relevant notification. The applicant is required to obtain GST registration if their aggregate annual turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold. The supply of hostel accommodation services is taxable at 9% CGST + 9% SGST under the relevant tariff heading. When accommodation and food services are provided as a composite supply, the tax rate applicable to the principal supply (accommodation) will apply to the composite supply, which is 18% GST. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The ruling pertains to the exemption from GST on pure services provided by a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) to an unregistered foreign entity. The applicant, a GTA-cum-Packing & Moving Company, claimed exemption under relevant notifications. However, the ruling clarified that the exemption is exclusively for services by a GTA to an unregistered person, where a GTA is defined as one issuing consignment notes for road transport of goods. As the applicant did not issue consignment notes, it was held ineligible for the exemption. Additionally, the applicant provided a bundle of services like customs clearance, loading/unloading, port handling, etc., individually charged, further disqualifying it from the exemption meant for pure GTA services. Consequently, the exemption was deemed inapplicable to the applicant's case. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The High Court held that the writ petition challenging the show cause notice issued for levying GST on commission received under the Chit Funds Act is maintainable. Despite the availability of an alternate adjudication mechanism, the Court can exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 when proceedings are challenged as being without jurisdiction, based on the Supreme Court's judgment in Calcutta Discount Co. Ltd. v. ITO. In the present case, as per the Supreme Court's decision in Oriental Kuries Limited and Notification No.12 of 2017, the issuance of the show cause notice alleging GST levy on transactions under the Chit Funds Act is clearly without jurisdiction, without any disputed questions of fact. Therefore, the show cause notice is quashed as being issued without jurisdiction, and the writ petition is allowed. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Petitioner challenged dismissal of appeal by Appellate Authority against levy of penalty for excess Input Tax credit due to delay in filing appeal caused by unavoidable circumstances like critical illness of spouse requiring extensive medical care. Despite providing supporting documentation, Appellate Authority refused to condone delay citing rigid interpretation of statutory time limits lacking judicial empathy. Court held Appellate Authority's approach unduly harsh, legally unsound obstructing petitioner's statutory right to higher appeal due to non-formation of GST Appellate Tribunal. Considering procedural irregularities, arbitrary actions and misapplication of statute, Court allowed writ petition, quashed impugned orders, restored petitioner's rights under WBGST Act with attendant benefits without adverse consequences arising from annulled orders. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Taxability of additional surcharge collected by a government-owned electricity distribution company from open access consumers who source electricity from private generators. The key points are: The company is exempt from filing certain GST returns and can claim input tax credit on capitalized goods/services and services for support/auxiliary supplies. It can also claim proportionate input tax credit on taxable output supplies of support services and goods like scrap. The company is eligible to claim taxes paid under reverse charge mechanism as input tax credit. The additional surcharge collected from open access consumers is to meet the fixed costs arising from the company's obligation to supply electricity as per power purchase agreements. This collection mechanism is backed by the Electricity Act, policies of the central and state governments, and regulations. The additional surcharge does not constitute consideration for tolerating an act but is collected to cover fixed costs incurred due to power purchase agreements. Therefore, it should form part of the taxable value u/s 15 of the CGST Act, 2017. However, the supply of electricity as goods or distribution of electricity as a service is exempt from GST under relevant notifications. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The High Court found a violation of principles of natural justice as the notices were uploaded on the “view additional notices and orders” tab of the GST portal, and the petitioner was unaware of the proceedings. The impugned order pertained to discrepancies between the petitioner's GSTR-3B return, auto-populated GSTR-2A, and reconciliation of turnover as per the Income Tax return and GSTR-3B return. The tax proposal was confirmed due to the petitioner's failure to reply to the show cause notice. Considering these circumstances, the High Court set aside the impugned order dated 9-8-2023 on the condition that the petitioner remits 10% of the disputed tax demand within two weeks and submits a reply to the show cause notice within the same period. The petition was disposed of accordingly. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The High Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the notice issued u/s 65 of the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 for conducting an audit for the financial year 2020-21, even though the petitioner had ceased to be registered on the date of ordering the audit. The Court held that the provisions of Section 65 dealing with audit would apply to a person who was registered under the CGST Act for the period for which an audit is ordered, irrespective of subsequent de-registration. The preliminary audit report had found excess input tax credit claimed, improper reversal of input tax credit, and short disclosure of other income, resulting in a total tax plus interest liability. The Court observed that a person cannot escape audit proceedings by claiming de-registration, as obligations u/s 65(5) must be complied with, and Section 29(3) requires discharge of obligations even after cancellation of registration. Obstructing audit proceedings by taking such a plea would be improper if the assessee has defaulted in tax payment, wrongly availed input tax credit or refund. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The case pertains to the jurisdiction of impugned orders under the U.P.G.S.T. Act, 2017, and the time limitation u/s 73 and Section 44 of the Act. The key points are: the retrospective effect of notifications, the time limit prescribed for issuing orders u/s 73(9) based on the due date of filing annual returns u/s 44(1), and the validity of the impugned orders in light of this time limit. The due date for filing the annual return for the financial year 2017-18 was extended to 05.02.2020 via notifications. Consequently, the three-year time limit u/s 73(10) for issuing orders ended on 05.02.2023. However, the impugned orders were dated 05.10.2024 and 02.12.2023, beyond the prescribed time limit. Therefore, the High Court held that the impugned orders were beyond jurisdiction, being barred by the time limit u/s 73(10). Consequently, the writ petition was allowed, the impugned orders were quashed, and the petitioner's frozen accounts were ordered to be de-frozen. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

However, as the Supreme Court stayed the Division Bench judgment, the High Court opined that pending Supreme Court's decision, the appeal should be considered on merits.

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The applicant, acting as an aggregator for diagnostic and lab services provided through third-party diagnostic labs, is liable to collect GST on the entire invoice amount raised on companies/insurance companies/insurance brokers, not merely on the margin. The applicable tax rate is based on the services being diagnostic services covered under healthcare services, classified under SAC 9993. The applicant does not qualify as an e-commerce operator or a clinical establishment eligible for exemption. Therefore, the applicant must collect GST on the diagnostic and lab services provided to clients. The applicant also does not fall under the definition of an “Insurance Agent” when invoicing insurance companies, and must raise invoices as per other companies. The issue of collecting Tax Collected at Source (TCS) is redundant since the applicant is not an e-commerce operator. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax
