Whether penal interest constitutes a declared service under the toleration limb was addressed: the Tribunal applied the test that toleration requires a pre-agreed obligation to tolerate or refrain, and penal interest is compensatory, not consideration for toleration, hence not taxable. Whether liquidated damages/notice pay are taxable: recovery arises from the employeremployee relationship and is compensatory, not consideration for a service, and thus not exigible. Whether CSR payments amounted to sponsorship service: where consideration promotes brand visibility, sponsorship characterization applies and tax demand is sustainable absent documentary proof of pure donation; outcome: sponsorship-related demands upheld. Extended limitation and penalties were sustained where suppression with intent and nondisclosure were found, making interest and penalties payable.
