<h1>Service tax amendments reshape negative list, narrow exemptions, reduce abatement and introduce a voluntary compliance settlement scheme.</h1> Amendments expand negative list definitions and adjust assessment and penalty provisions: widening vocational-course and manufacturing-process definitions, deleting a limiting word to broaden agricultural testing exemptions, allowing determination of demand for an eighteen-month period when extended-period grounds fail, capping a specified penalty, introducing director-level penalties for willful offences, and restructuring cognizability and bailability of certain offences. Exemptions are narrowed and harmonised, abatement for construction services is reduced, advance ruling eligibility is extended to resident public limited companies, and a Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) offers staged settlement with immunity subject to exclusions; key changes commence on enactment or specified effective dates.
