Best Call Taxi India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Commissioner of C. Ex.

Court : Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Tamil Nadu

Reported in : (2006)STR28

1. the lower authorities have imposed penalties of rs. 22,615/-and rs. 1,000/- under sections 76 and 77 respectively of the finance act, 1994, on the appellants. after examining the records and hearing both sides, i find that the service tax was paid with interest on 9-2-2004, before the order-in-original was passed. the order-in-appeal was passed on 2-9-2004. the appeal is, by and large, based on the ground that the appellants are not liable to pay service tax at all. surprisingly, when they paid service tax, they did not do so under protest, nor did they choose to file a refund claim till date. hence it is too late for them to challenge the tax liability. the only question which would arise for consideration in the appeal is whether the above penalties are sustainable. on this question, i have heard both sides. it is found that the penalty imposed on the assessee under section 76 is the minimum imposable thereunder, while the penalty imposed on them under section 77 is what was fixed thereunder. prima facie, there is no good case for the appellants against either of these penalties.nevertheless, having regard to the fact that the tax was paid with interest during the course of adjudication of the case, i am not asking them to make full deposit of the penalties. they shall deposit 50% of the penalties within 4 weeks and report compliance on 29-7-2005.
