Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
CESTAT adjudicated a service tax dispute involving import of services, finding no substantive evidence that foreign currency payments constituted taxable imported services within India. The tribunal determined that services were utilized abroad, rendering them an export of service, and thus not subject to service tax. The department's demand was based solely on foreign exchange earnings without proving actual service receipt in India. Additionally, the tribunal found the proceedings time-barred under the extended period of limitation. Consequently, the tribunal set aside the service tax demand, interest, and potential penalties, effectively allowing the appellant's appeal and rejecting the revenue's claim of service tax liability.
