Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Services performed and consumed outside India were held not taxable in India under reverse charge, because the overseas inspection and processing activities related to exported goods and fell outside the import-of-service rule. The Tribunal also found the classification in the impugned order unsustainable, since the same services were not given a clear and consistent sub-clause under Business Auxiliary Service. Best judgment computation based on doubled historical figures was rejected as arbitrary where there was no evidence of later payments. The extended period of limitation was also denied, as prior audits and filed returns undermined any allegation of suppression or intent to evade.
