Taxpayer Entitled to VCES Benefits Despite Audit Report and SCN on CENVAT Credit for Employee Medical Insurance.

Case Laws Service Tax HC

This case deals with the validity of a declaration under the Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) for service tax dues. The taxpayer was issued a show cause notice (SCN) alleging wrongful availing of CENVAT credit on service tax paid for medical insurance services provided to employees. The key issues are whether the taxpayer was ineligible to file a VCES declaration due to an audit report and the SCN, and whether the SCN covered the dues declared under VCES. The court held that an audit report is not an order of determination under relevant sections of the Finance Act, 1994, as required for ineligibility under VCES. The SCN was limited to specific dues not covered by the taxpayer's VCES declaration. Since the SCN did not cover the declared dues, the taxpayer cannot be deprived of VCES benefit. The court found no infirmity in allowing the taxpayer's appeal.
