Rights available to Defaulter of service tax

[SUNIL KUMAR YADAV]

Respected sir/madam

I work in an small company whose director had another proprietor company ,He didn't paid any service tax to one of his project which was about 10 lakhs. Now the service tax people are asking him to pay 3 times of it ,so i wanted to know what are the rights available to him and can he ask the tax authorities to give him details of his default case before giving any sorts of statement to tax authority for which they are pressurising him very much. From where can we get the details of all his default cases so that we can make payment and close the case as early as possible. it will be very helpful for my company and it's employee future if you can advice us what to do and not to do and option available to my boss as we lack in finance knowledge.

Regards

AI Summary

Director Faces Triple Tax Demand for Unpaid Service Tax, Seeks Clarity on Legal Rights and Options A small company's director, who also owns a proprietorship, failed to pay service tax on a project worth 10 lakhs. The tax authorities are demanding three times the unpaid amount. The company seeks advice on rights and options, including obtaining details of the default case. Respondents clarified that there is no provision for demanding three times the unpaid tax. If the non-payment was a bona fide mistake, paying the tax with interest within 30 days of notice can avoid penalties. They advised obtaining details from the tax department and paying dues to resolve the case, or demanding a show cause notice if disputing the claim.
