Tribunal rules in favor of appellant in VCES case, finds show cause notice requirement not met.
The Tribunal held that the appellant's declaration under the Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) should be accepted as no show cause notice was issued before rejecting the claim, as required by Section 111 of the Finance Act, 2013. The Tribunal found that the appellant was entitled to VCES benefits and set aside the order rejecting the claim. The appeal was allowed, providing the appellant with consequential relief.
Issues: Appeal against rejection of declaration under Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) - Compliance with VCES provisions - Requirement of show cause notice before rejection of claim - Interpretation of Section 111 of the Finance Act, 2013.
Analysis: The appellant filed a declaration under VCES, declaring an amount to be paid under the scheme. The appellant later submitted an undertaking showing a different amount paid under VCES. The department rejected the claim stating that the appellant did not comply with VCES provisions as the declared amount differed from the paid amount. The appellant argued that they had voluntarily filed the declaration and were entitled to VCES benefits. The appellant contended that no show cause notice was issued before rejecting their claim, which is a requirement. The department opposed, stating that the appellant did not make a true declaration as per VCES provisions. The Tribunal considered the submissions and examined Section 111 of the Finance Act, 2013, which deals with failure to make a true declaration under VCES.
The Tribunal found that the Commissioner had reason to believe that the appellant's declaration was false, but no show cause notice was issued as required by Section 111 of the Act. The Act specifies that no action can be taken after one year from the date of declaration without issuing a show cause notice. Since no such notice was issued to the appellant, the Tribunal held that the appellant's declaration should be accepted. Consequently, the impugned order rejecting the claim was set aside, and the appeal was allowed with consequential relief.
