2015 (4) TMI 684 - HC - Income TaxDisallowance of unpaid service tax under section 43B - Tribunal deleted addition - whether liability to pay service tax had not arisen without appreciating the fact that the assessee has shown the said amount as a liability in its Balance Sheet? - Held that:- Section 43B does not contemplate liability to pay the service tax before actual receipt of the funds in the account of the assesee. In our view, liability to pay service tax into the treasury will arise only upon the assessee receiving the funds and not otherwise. Accordingly, when services are rendered, the liability to pay the service tax in respect of the consideration payable will arise only upon the receipt of such consideration and not otherwise. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that no substantial question of law arises. Accordingly, the Appeal has no merit and the same is dismissed. - Decided against revenue.
