of <h1>Tribunal overturns Service Tax demand on cable operator, remands for fresh decision</h1> The Tribunal set aside the order confirming the demand of Service Tax and penalties on the appellant for providing cable operator service. The matter was ... Cable operator - dispute is regarding number of connections - quantification of demand - appellants were paying Service Tax on 225 connections whereas Revenue demanded Tax on 500 connections - service provider clarified by letter dated 7.6.04 that only 225 connections are provided - above fact noticed in OIO & in OIA but no finding is given - impugned order is set aside & matter is remanded to take decision on basis of evidence produced by appellant in respect of total connections provided Issues:1. Confirmation of demand of Service Tax and imposition of penalties on the appellant for providing cable operator service.2. Dispute over the quantification of demand based on the number of cable connections provided by the appellant.Analysis:The appellant filed an appeal against an order confirming the demand of Service Tax and imposing penalties for providing cable operator service. The Revenue relied on a statement from the Director of another company to make the demand based on 500 cable connections. The appellant did not dispute providing the service but contested the number of connections, claiming they were overcharged for 500 connections when they actually provided only about 225 connections. The appellant argued that they were paying Service Tax for 225 connections, not 500.The Tribunal noted that the appellant did not dispute being a cable operator service provider, with the main issue being the number of connections. It was observed that the appellant had clarified in a letter that they provided only 225 connections, not 500 as claimed by the Revenue. However, the previous orders did not provide a clear finding on this discrepancy. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the impugned order and remanded the matter to the adjudicating authority for a fresh decision based on the evidence presented by the appellant regarding the total connections provided. The adjudicating authority was directed to issue a new order after giving the appellant an opportunity to be heard, thereby disposing of the appeal through remand.
