Tax Recovery Dispute: Sub-Contractor Seeks Relief Through Procedural Safeguards Under GST Garnishee Notice Proceedings
HC of Andhra Pradesh addressed a GST tax recovery case involving a sub-contractor challenging a garnishee notice. The court declined to lift the bank attachment but directed the tax authority to consider the petitioner's representation for time-bound tax payment. The authority must provide a hearing and issue an order within one week, offering procedural relief without fully reversing the tax recovery process.
Issues Involved: The issues involved in this case include a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the issuance of Form GST DRC-13 to a bank, seeking relief through a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate order, and requesting adjustment of tax arrears against bill amounts received from third parties.
Judgment Details:
Issue 1: Challenge to the Issuance of Form GST DRC-13 The petitioner, a sub-contractor under main contractors executing works for the State Government, challenged the issuance of a garnishee notice to the petitioner's bank for attachment of a tax amount. The petitioner expressed concern over the potential financial hardship and inability to pay employee salaries if the amount is attached. The Court acknowledged the burden of tax payment on the petitioner but declined to raise the attachment. However, the Court allowed the petitioner to submit a representation to the 1st respondent seeking time for payment of the balance of the tax amount. The respondent was directed to consider the representation, afford an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, and pass an appropriate order expeditiously.
Conclusion: The High Court of Andhra Pradesh disposed of the writ petition, granting the petitioner liberty to submit a representation to the 1st respondent seeking time for payment of the balance of the tax amount. The respondent was instructed to consider the representation, provide a hearing to the petitioner, and issue an appropriate order within one week of receiving the representation. No costs were awarded, and any pending interlocutory applications in the case were closed.
