Challenge to Tax Rate Notifications Settled in Favor of Petitioners
The challenge to Notification No.8/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) and Notification No.10/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) was settled in favor of the petitioners. The court referred to a previous Supreme Court decision which clarified that the notifications did not introduce a different taxable person from what was prescribed in the relevant Acts. Consequently, the Writ Petitions were allowed, with no costs imposed, and the connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions were closed.
Issues: Challenge to Notification No.8/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) and Notification No.10/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate).
Analysis: The petitioners challenged Sl.No.9 (ii) of Notification No.8/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate) and Sl.No.10 of Notification No.10/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate). Notification No.8/2017 specifies the rate of tax payable for services, particularly regarding the transport of goods in a vessel from a place outside India up to the customs station of clearance in India. The relevant portion of the notification outlines the conditions and rates for such services. On the other hand, Notification No.10/2017 imposes the liability to pay tax on a reverse charge basis by the recipient for specific categories of services, including services supplied by a person located in a non-taxable territory by way of transporting goods by a vessel from a place outside India up to the customs station of clearance in India.
The issue was confirmed to be settled in favor of the petitioners by referring to the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Union of India v. Mohit Minerals (P.) Ltd. The Supreme Court's decision clarified that the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act and the Central Goods and Services Tax Act define reverse charge and specify the entity to be taxed for these purposes. The notification merely serves a clarificatory purpose and does not introduce a different taxable person from the one prescribed in the relevant sections of the Acts. As a result, the Writ Petitions were allowed, with no costs imposed, and the connected Writ Miscellaneous Petitions were closed.
