The court held that the State Government's amended order dated September 30, 2022 for the Water Resources Department provided for reimbursement of additional tax burden to contractors upon furnishing details of differential tax liability. The court noted that contractors cannot be faulted for additional tax liability arising from new tax imposition, as bids are based on existing taxes. The court observed that the government had already issued similar reimbursement orders for other departments including PWD and urban development departments. The impugned order was set aside and petition disposed of favorably. en-us Thu, 17 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 17:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=432019 The Chhattisgarh HC allowed a petition seeking refund of additional tax burden suffered by a contractor due to GST implementation from July 1, 2017.
