Withdrawn tax exemption cannot be reclaimed despite the fact that Assessee has invested fund on the promise of tax benefit

March 21, 2011 1191 Views 0 comment Print

Withdrawn tax exemption cannot be reclaimed- An industry which has been granted tax exemption to set up unit in a backward region cannot claim the benefit even after it was withdrawn by the state, the SC stated in the case, State of Haryana vs Mahabir Vegetable Oils Ltd. In this case, the firm set up a solvent extraction plant and enjoyed the sales tax benefit till 1996. That year, the firm was put in the negative list as it was found to be a polluting industry. The benefit was withdrawn since then. This was challenged by the firm in the Punjab and Haryana high court. It allowed its petition and ruled that once the firm invested funds on the promise of tax benefit, the government could not withdraw the exemption mid-way. Reversing this view, the SC emphasised that there was no vested interest in the firm to get the benefit for all times. The government can change the rules in public interest. In this case, the decision to put the firm in the negative list was on account of the unit’s polluting nature, the SC said, allowing the appeal of the state government.
