The Court held that a genuine buyer cannot lose ITC merely because the seller failed to deposit tax. The key takeaway is that liability must fall on the defaulter, not the innocent purchaser.
The Court held that penalty proceedings under the KGST Act cannot be initiated after an unreasonable delay. Even without a statutory limitation period, action must be taken within a reasonable timeframe.
The Court held that SIM cards, recharge coupons, and value-added telecom services are not “goods” under the KVAT Act. VAT demands on such receipts were therefore set aside.
The High Court examined whether sunglasses qualify as spectacles under VAT schedules. It ruled that sunglasses are not covered by the spectacles entry and therefore cannot enjoy the lower tax rate. The key takeaway is that sunglasses must be taxed as residuary goods at 12.5% VAT.
The Tribunal ruled that cash deposited from recorded demonetisation-period sales cannot be treated as unexplained when books and VAT turnover are accepted. Suspicion without evidence cannot justify section 69A additions.
The Court examined whether diesel used through service providers could escape VAT liability. It held that in the absence of proof of purchases from registered dealers, VAT was rightly levied.
