Security Services Tax Amendment Validated, Petitioner's Challenge Redirected to Administrative Review for Further Examination
HC upheld the government's notification amendment regarding security services tax mechanism. The court directed the petitioner's challenge to be treated as a representation for administrative review. Respondents were instructed to examine the grievance and take appropriate action, effectively deferring the legal challenge to administrative channels without making a definitive ruling on the taxation policy.
Issues: Challenge to Notification No.29/2018 regarding amendment to Notification No.13/2017 related to security services under the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017.
Analysis: The petitioner, a registered society, challenged Notification No.29/2018 issued by the Union of India, specifically focusing on the amendment made to Notification No.13/2017. The amendment pertained to Entry No.14 related to security services under the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017. The petitioner's grievance was that the amendment excluded smaller closely held body corporates from the reverse-charge mechanism for service tax payment.
The petitioner's counsel argued that the amendment did not consider the circumstances of smaller body corporates. On the other hand, the respondent's counsel contended that the petition was not maintainable as it challenged a policy decision in the field of taxation. The respondent's counsel emphasized that the exclusion from the reverse-charge mechanism was a decision for the State authorities to make after considering various factors.
Ultimately, the Court directed that the writ petition be treated as a representation to be dealt with by the concerned authorities, respondent nos.1 and 2. The Court highlighted that in taxation matters, the assessee should approach the Court directly, rather than through a third entity like a society. The writ petition was disposed of with a direction for the respondents to treat it as a representation and take appropriate action accordingly. As a result, the pending applications were closed.
