Extended period of limitation of five years: Mere non-disclosure of receipts in the service tax return does not automatically mean there was an intent to evade payment of service tax. Suppression of facts has to be willful and with an intent to evade tax, as held by the Supreme Court. In this case, the department had already scrutinized the records earlier, and the show cause notice was based on entries available in the balance sheet. Therefore, the impugned order invoking the extended period was set aside, and the appeal was allowed.
