Goods and Services Tax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The High Court held that the language of Section 83(1) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 is mandatory and must be followed as it has penal consequences. The impugned order u/s 83(1) should indicate the reasons that weighed with the Commissioner to form an opinion for provisional attachment to protect government revenue interests. Passing an order without recording reasons violates natural justice principles. The matter was remitted to the Commissioner to record reasons in writing for forming such an opinion if deemed fit, failing which the impugned orders cannot be sustained. The petition was allowed by way of remand. – 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 contested the levy of interest, claiming tax liability was paid from the credit ledger, precluding interest charges. However, the court observed factual issues requiring detailed scrutiny of records. The petitioner failed to annex the response to the show-cause notice, hindering the court's ability to delve into merits. The statute provides for appellate remedies, with the first appellate authority being functional, albeit the Appellate Tribunal is yet to be constituted. Considering the availability of statutory appellate mechanisms and the need for factual examination, the High Court dismissed the writ petition. – 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 quashed the Commissioner's order for provisional attachment u/s 83(1) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 due to lack of reasons recorded. The statutory provision mandates the Commissioner to pass a reasoned order indicating the grounds for forming an opinion that provisional attachment is necessary to protect government revenue. Absence of recorded reasons renders the impugned order unsustainable. The matter was remanded to the Commissioner to record reasons afresh if deemed fit, as the reasoned order embodying the opinion is subject to judicial scrutiny. The Court emphasized the statutory requirement of a reasoned order to uphold principles of fair administration. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – Challenge to the cancellation of registration and rejection of an application for revocation of cancellation. The key points are: The show cause notice (SCN) did not identify the issuing authority, violating principles of natural justice as the petitioner could not adequately respond. The SCN lacked details about the alleged fraud, misstatement, or suppression. The order canceling registration and rejecting the revocation application was vague and non-speaking, without providing reasons. Consequently, the High Court set aside the impugned order dated 2nd January 2024 and disposed of the writ petition. – 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 examined the challenge to the assessment and demand orders, validity of the show cause notice (SCN), discrepancy in the assessment amount compared to the proposal, and violation of Section 75(7) of the GST Act. The court held that the SCN covered the proposal for assessing tax, interest, and penalty. The assessment amount matched the total proposal under nine heads mentioned in the SCN and final order. The court rejected the contention of violating Section 75(7). Finding no reason to interfere with the writ court's order, the High Court affirmed it with a slight modification, requiring payment of 7.5% of the disputed tax instead of 10% within three months. Upon such payment, the assessing authority shall proceed with re-assessment, provide an opportunity of being heard, and make a final decision on merits and in accordance with the law. Non-compliance with the modified condition will result in dismissal of the appeal. – 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 the show-cause notice (SCN) in Form GST DRC-01, alleging that respondents sought to levy GST at 28% instead of the prevalent 18% rate paid since 2017. The court held that mere issuance of the SCN to the petitioner and not to counterparts cannot be deemed unlawful. Writ jurisdiction cannot be invoked solely based on the SCN issuance, as the petitioner has the right to file a reply and be heard before any order is passed. Furthermore, any order passed by the authorities is appealable under the CGST Act. Consequently, the writ petition lacked merit and was dismissed. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax

Case-Laws – GST – Highlights – The respondent denied Input Tax Credit (ITC) to the petitioner based on alleged purchase of goods under HSN 85171110, non-payment to creditors exceeding 180 days, and payments made to statutory auditors. The court held that the respondent failed to consider the petitioner's reply and confirmed the audit observations without providing a reasonable opportunity. Regarding payments to auditors, the show cause notice did not require producing invoices, which the petitioner has now submitted, necessitating reconsideration. On the alleged purchase of goods, the petitioner asserted dealing with online recharge coupons, not mobile phones, and had provided extensive documents during the audit, warranting reconsideration. Concerning non-payment to creditors, the petitioner clarified having only one creditor with a three-day credit period, and no evidence of non-payment beyond 180 days was presented. The impugned order was set aside, and the matter remanded for reconsideration by the respondent after providing a reasonable opportunity and personal hearing to the petitioner within three months. – 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 set aside the order cancelling the petitioner's registration under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the West Bengal Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, subject to the condition that the petitioner files returns for the entire period of default and pays the requisite amount of tax, interest, fine, and penalty, if not already paid. The cancellation was due to the petitioner's failure to comply with statutory provisions by not filing returns, but the Court noted that suspension/revocation would be counterproductive and against revenue interests as it would prevent the petitioner from carrying on business and raising invoices, ultimately impacting tax recovery. The Court took a pragmatic view, considering that the respondents did not allege dubious processes to evade tax. – TMI Updates – Highlights, quick notes, marquee, annotation, news, alerts Tax Management India – taxmanagementindia – taxmanagement – taxmanagementindia.com – TMI – TaxTMI – TMITax
