Petitioner's declaration was rejected on grounds that service tax was paid before scheme's promulgation date of 10.5.2013. Court held petitioner complied with all VCES conditions and rejection was unjustified. VCES contained no prohibition against paying dues between 1.3.2013 and 10.5.2013 when scheme was announced. Assistant Commissioner's rejection solely on this ground was unsustainable. Matter remanded to Assistant Commissioner for fresh order in accordance with law. en-us Tue, 28 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Jan 2025 13:07:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=354987 Karnataka HC allowed writ petition challenging rejection of declaration under Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme (VCES) 2013.
