Issues: Whether refund could be denied on the ground of unjust enrichment when the activity was held not taxable and no service tax was collected from the subscribers.
Analysis: Once the activity was not taxable, there could be no liability to tax. The Revenue did not undertake verification from any subscriber or from available records to establish that the incidence of tax had been passed on, and therefore a presumption of unjust enrichment was not justified.
Conclusion: The denial of refund was unsustainable and the appeal was allowed in favour of the assessee.
Ratio Decidendi: Where no tax was collected and the Revenue fails to establish passing on of incidence, refund cannot be denied on the ground of unjust enrichment.
