Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
GST regularisation on an "as is" or "as is, where is" basis accepts, as full discharge of liability for the regularised period, tax paid at the lower competing rate or nil rate claimed under a genuinely doubtful exemption entry and declared in returns. Taxpayers who paid a higher rate are not entitled to a refund. The regularisation applies where competing rate entries or divergent interpretations caused genuine doubt; it does not protect cases where no tax was paid when the dispute concerned only competing positive rates. In those cases, tax at the clarified applicable rate remains recoverable.
