Case Laws GST HC
HC held that Kanpur Nagar Nigam lacks authority to levy advertisement tax after the implementation of the U.P. GST Act, 2017 and Constitution (101st Amendment) Act, 2016. The court clarified that its previous order unambiguously quashed tax demands falling within Section 173 of U.P. GST Act read with the 101st Constitutional Amendment. Advertisement tax collected beyond April 1, 2017, must be refunded to petitioners. The municipal corporation's demands for advertisement tax after July 1, 2017, were declared illegal. The application seeking further clarification was dismissed as the original order was sufficiently clear and required no additional interpretation.
