Service Tax Penalties Under CGST Act Quashed As Services Were Exempt During Pre-GST Period Under Finance Act

Case Laws GST HC

HC allowed petition challenging service tax penalties under CGST Act. Penalties pertained to period before CGST implementation when services were exempt under Finance Act 1994. Court relied on precedent from Kanak Automobiles case where tax amount was Rs. 86 lakh compared to present case's Rs. 6,33,879. Distinguishing quantum while following ratio from SC judgment, court found penalties inapplicable since services were exempt during relevant period and CGST provisions could not be applied retrospectively.
