CBEC Clarifies on Rate of Service Tax - Inaccurate Arithmetic - What is 40% of 12.36%?


Litigation Loving Revenue

King can do no wrong.
Especially when the decision is against the tax payer and in favour of Revenue. nobody has any respect towards the present Adjudication system. it is high time that Adjudication is separated and put under the Ministry of law. Our Board is now walking backwards. see the adjudication powers given to the DRI. Lawyers and Consultants may have good time.
Somebody should conduct a quality audit of the investigations conducted by DRI and the show cause notices issued by them. it would reveal the quality of our ACE anti smuggling organization.
