Trade Notice No. 10/2012, It is brought to the notice of all the members of Trade and Industry that large scale evasion of service tax by service providers providing Security Agency Service and Manpower Supply Agency Service have come to light in this Commissionerate where the Service Providers have collected Service Tax from the Service Recipients but they have not deposited the service tax into the account of the Central Government as required under sub-section (1) of section 73A of Chapter V of the Finance Act, 1994

With Service Tax regime migrating to negative list approach w.e.f. July 1, 2012, almost all the services except those in negative list (section 66D) and exempted services (Notification No. 25 2012-ST dated 20.06.2012) have become exigible to service tax .
In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the petitioner, as well as the respondents, and on a perusal of the records available, it is noted that an appellate remedy is available to the petitioner to challenge the impugned order passed by the third respondent, on 27.3.2012, under Section 86 of the Finance Act, 1994.

Tribunal were correct in taking the view that the refund was liable to be paid to the present respondents as service tax was not passed on to the buyers/customers and there was no unjust enrichment.
The Tribunal was justified in recording the aforesaid findings. In the facts of the case, it was not possible to ascribe any wilful suppression or mis-statement on the part of the assessee for not paying excise duty because during the period in question, various decisions of the Tribunal were to the effect that the activity of cutting, bending, bunching of plates or channels in which the assessee was engaged, did not amount to manufacturing activity. In Continental Foundation Jt. Venture v. CCE 2007 (216) ELT 177 (SC), Apex Court observed that when there was bona fide doubt as to non-excisability of the goods due to divergent views of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the extended period of 5 years cannot be invoked. Mere failure or negligence in not taking license or not paying duty, is not sufficient for invoking extended period.
The CBEC has issued Notification No. 45/2012-ST dated 7-8-2012, amending the Notification No. 30/2012-ST dated 20-6-2012 and expanded the scope of reverse charge mechanism. With effect from 7-8-2012, services provided by the director to the company will be covered under the reverse charge mechanism.
