The Tribunal held that excess service tax paid inadvertently does not qualify as tax under law. As a result, limitation under Section 11B was held inapplicable and refund was allowed with interest.
The Tribunal held that tax demand cannot be confirmed under a category not proposed in the show cause notice. It ruled that such reclassification violates settled legal principles and renders the demand invalid.
The tribunal examined whether repair and maintenance services provided to Naval Authorities are taxable. It held that such services are not liable to service tax as they are not linked to commercial activities.
The Tribunal held that total business turnover, including non-taxable income, must be considered for exemption eligibility. Since the threshold was exceeded, refund was rightly rejected.
The Tribunal examined whether government grant-in-aid constituted taxable consideration. It held that reimbursement of capital expenditure without service linkage is not liable to service tax.
The issue was whether gross receipts should be treated as inclusive of service tax. The Tribunal held that where tax is not separately collected, cum-tax benefit must be granted. The matter was remanded for fresh computation.
The case examined whether services involving supply of materials could be taxed under construction-related categories. The Tribunal ruled that these are works contract services requiring proper classification. The failure to do so rendered the demand unsustainable.
CESTAT held that demand based on disclosed records cannot invoke extended limitation. It set aside entire tax demand due to lack of intent to evade.
The Tribunal held that service recipients are not liable for Service Tax where the liability rests with the service provider. It set aside demands on security and car hiring services while confirming tax only on conceded services. The ruling clarifies correct allocation of tax liability.
The Tribunal examined whether leasing property to a company makes it taxable. It held that actual use determines taxability, not the identity of the lessee. Since the property was used for residential purposes, service tax demand was quashed.
