The appellant failed to disclose the provision of such services, obtain service tax registration, or file returns, justifying invocation of the extended period of limitation for assessment. The plea for cum duty benefit was allowed, as the agreement stipulated that service tax would not be separately paid, implying its inclusion in the service value.

The appeal was partly allowed by remand. en-us Sat, 19 Jul 2025 13:49:00 +0530 Sat, 19 Jul 2025 13:49:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=90656 The CESTAT held that the contract for cash van services constituted supply of tangible goods service rather than a transfer of right to use goods, thereby attracting service tax and not deemed sale.
