Service Provider Disputes Interest Demand on Service Tax; Challenges Reverse Charge Mechanism Interpretation by Department.

February 25, 2022

Case Laws     Service Tax     HC

Demand of Interest on 50% of the service tax - when the service provider (appellant) has paid entire 50% of the amount towards service tax and the service Recipient also paid the balance 50% of the service tax in time directly to the Service Tax Department on the assumption that the reverse charge mechanism is applicable, and when the Department also re-credited the said 50% of the service tax from the service recipient's account to the service provider's (appellant's account) with effect from 28.02.2014, instead of giving effect to the same from the date, on which, original payment was made by the service recipient, it is not open to the Department to turn down and say that reverse charge mechanism is not applicable, thus, the appellant is liable to pay interest on the belated payment. - HC
