Content ownership determines GST treatment of printed publications: customer-supplied text is a taxable printing service, owned content is exempt good...
Employee recoveries, input tax credit and notice pay recovery under GST: AAR distinguishes taxable supplies from non-taxable perquisites and penalties...
Reverse charge mechanism for service tax distinguishes the recipients liability from the providers: where law makes the service recipient solely liable to pay, the provider is not answerable for unpaid tax. The Revenue bears the burden to prove fraud, collusion, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts before invoking the extended period of limitation; absent such proof and where the provider had a bona fide belief that liability rested on the recipient, an extended-period demand against the provider cannot be sustained. Result: impugned extended-period demand set aside and appeal allowed.
