Can GST authorities freeze directors’ personal assets for company dues? Legal analysis of Sections 79, 83 & 89 CGST Act with key court rulings.
The Madras High Court upheld the blocking of Input Tax Credit under Rule 86A after the Managing Director admitted availing ITC on blocked invoices during inspection. The Court ruled that such admission weakened the taxpayer’s challenge to the department’s action.
Courts have increasingly held that Input Tax Credit cannot be denied to bona fide taxpayers merely because suppliers failed to pay GST. Authorities must prove fraud or collusion before disallowing ITC.
GSTAT issued instructions mandating submission of SCN, OIO, OIA, and appeal grounds in APL-05. It held that incomplete documentation may lead to defects unless properly justified. The ruling ensures standardized and error-free appeal filings.
The High Court permitted the taxpayer to file an appeal despite delay after noting that the assessment order was served through deemed service on the common portal. The appeal must be filed with a 25% deposit of the disputed tax.
The Gauhati High Court held that the second FIR disclosed additional and distinct offences beyond the earlier complaint. Therefore, the FIR could not be quashed under the test of sameness.
The Madras High Court quashed a GST order passed after the assessee failed to reply to a show cause notice and remitted the matter for fresh adjudication. The court allowed reconsideration subject to a 10% pre-deposit of the disputed tax.
The High Court held that there was no violation of natural justice because the taxpayer’s reply to the show cause notice was referred to and considered in the assessment order. The petitioner was directed to pursue the statutory appellate remedy instead of invoking writ jurisdiction.
The Court refused to review its earlier ruling that retrospective GST cancellation was invalid due to lack of reasons in the show cause notice and absence of prior notice to the taxpayer.
