1999 (3) TMI 588 - AT - Service Tax

Summary

The appeal was disposed of with the consent of both sides. The appellant, a share broker, sought clarification on service tax liability but did not receive a response until later. Show cause notices were issued for non-furnishing of returns, leading to a penalty. The appellant believed he was not required to pay tax and sought advice from the Jurisdictional Officer. The appeal succeeded as the appellant was not obligated to pay tax during the period in question.
