 IV.  Useful Case Laws: 


1.  Ms. Katrina R. Turcotte Vs. Commissioner of Service Tax, Appeal No. ST/387 of 2011, Dated: 09-10-2012, CESTAT- Mumbai

Katrina Kaif (Assessee) not liable to pay service tax if already paid by agent

Facts of the Case:

In this case, the appellant has provided the service for promotion of product by agreeing as model herself for advertisement films, TV commercials, still photographing, footage, press advertisement, outdoor, packaging and sales material etc. The revenue is of the view that as the appellant is engaged in the activity of promoting/marketing or sales of the product manufactured by her client etc., therefore, the said activity falls under “Business Auxiliary Service” The appellants contention is that appellant has appointed M/s Matrix as their agent to receive payment on behalf of the appellant from the clients and thereafter discharge the service tax liability on the above activity.

Held:

As M/s Matrix (Agent of Assessee) has paid the service tax under the category of Advertisement Agency Service that does not mean that M/s Matrix has not paid service tax on behalf of the appellant. By mere paying the service tax liability under wrong head does not meant that service tax liability has not been discharged. The allegation of the revenue that service has been rendered by appellant but has not discharged the service tax liability is not sustainable as per section 65(7) of the Finance Act, wherein the ‘assessee’ means a person liable to pay service tax and includes his agent.

2.  Ingram Micro (India) Exports Vs. Dy. CIT, ITA Nos. 8133, 8137,8138,8136, 8135 & 8132/Mum/2010, Date of Order: 21/12/2012, ITAT- Mumbai

Sec. 153C search assessment is void if AO’s satisfaction not recorded

Held that there is no satisfaction recorded by AO before initiating proceedings under section 153C, considering the fact that AO refused to allow inspection to assessee as recorded by the bench on 20.04.2011. The Revenue has not been able to show any satisfaction recorded either in the case of searched person or in the case of assessee and consequently in view of the principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Manish Maheshwari vs. ACIT 289 ITR 341 (SC), a notice issued under section 153C r.w.s. 153A is liable to be held as invalid. Thus, the consequential assessments passed under section 153C r.w.s. 144C are annulled on account of the invalidity of the notices under section 153C.

"Small minds talk about win,
Average minds talk about position,
Great minds talk about growth,
But champions never talk,
They just perform and the world talk
