<h1>Govt Clarifies Service Tax Dispute Resolution: Applies to SCNs Issued Before March 1, 2008, and Relevant Revision Orders.</h1> The central government clarified the applicability of the service tax dispute resolution scheme introduced in the 2008 budget. The scheme applies to cases where Show Cause Notices (SCNs) were issued before March 1, 2008, and adjudicated on or after that date. Additionally, the scheme is also applicable to revision orders by the commissioner if the original order was issued before March 1, 2008. These clarifications were communicated through two official letters dated September 2, 2008, and are part of the guidelines for the Dispute Resolution Scheme, 2008.
