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...
Forfeited security deposits and earnest money deposits do not constitute consideration because no quid pro quo or activity was performed; therefore such forfeitures are not taxable and the related service-tax demand is set aside. Fees charged for supplying tender documents are equivalent to sale of documents rather than a service, as no service is rendered to bidders; the service-tax demand on tender fees is overturned. Invocation of the extended limitation period requires positive, deliberate evasion or suppression; absent such intent or affirmative conduct, the extended-period demand is barred and the impugned order is set aside.
