https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=77944 CESTAT Chennai addressed the demand of service tax on upfront charges for Extended Warranty Scheme (EWS) and used car scheme. Pre-01.07.2012, the tribunal held that demand u/s 65(105)(zo) for repair services cannot sustain as repair involves materials and service. Post-01.07.2012, EWS falls u/s 65B(44) & Section 66E(e) as creating an obligation, not actual repair. It's not Works Contract Service (WCS) but a declared service. Appellant acted in good faith, so penalties were set aside. The demand for the extended period was also set aside. Impugned order modified, appeals partly allowed. en-us Thu, 30 May 2024 07:56:30 +0530 Thu, 30 May 2024 07:56:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=77944 CESTAT Chennai addressed the demand of service tax on upfront charges for Extended Warranty Scheme (EWS) and used car scheme.
