It held that the margin money collected for transportation services did not fall under BAS but was already included in the taxable value for service tax under Goods Transport Agency (GTA) services. The Tribunal also found that the invocation of the extended period for demand was time-barred as there was no suppression of facts by the appellant. Additionally, the penalties imposed under sections 76 and 78 of the Finance Act, 1994, were set aside as they were deemed unwarranted based on the appellant's genuine belief regarding the service classification. en-us Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 17:40:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=377738 The Tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant in a case concerning the classification of margin money under Business Auxiliary Service (BAS).
