Normally, service tax is payable by the person who is providing the taxable service. However, the Central Government is empowered under Section 68(2) to notify the specified persons who are liable to pay service tax in respect of notified taxable services. In this budget a proviso has been inserted wherein the Central Government can notify the specified services and the extent of service tax which shall be payable such person and the remaining part of the service tax shall be paid by the service provider. In other words, by insertion this proviso both the service recipient and the service provider together is required to pay the service tax.
Although the negative list approach largely obviates the need for descriptions of services, such descriptions continue to exist in the following areas – • In the negative list of services. • In the declared list of services. • In exemption notifications.
The taxability of services or the charge of service tax has been specified in section 66B of the Act. To be a taxable a service should be – provided or agreed to be provided by a person to another in the taxable territory ♦ and should not be specified in the negative list.
The material on record discloses that the assessee on being pointed out by the authorities for not paying the service tax, has paid the service tax with interest even before the issue of show cause notice. Sub-section (3) of Section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994, categorically states that if tax and interest is paid and the same is informed to the authorities, then the authorities shall not serve any notice calling upon the authorities to pay penalty. It is unfortunate that inspite of statutory provisions, the authorities have issued a show cause notice claiming penalty. So tax and interest was paid before issue of show cause notice.
