17 - Assessment

In the case of Vodafone Digilink Ltd. [2012 (11) TMI 955 - RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT] it was held that Suppression corroborated by an untrue declaration in the return filed calls for levy of penalty. When the return contains a declaration as to the self assessment particulars stating that the assessee had paid service tax correctly in terms of provisions of the Act and Rules made thereunder such declaration becomes faulty in absence of bona fide statement either on the return or made through a letter accompanying the return. Once the appellant has claimed that service tax has been paid in accordance with the law and this is not paid, that imputes the appellant to the charge. Such view brings harmony in construction of law and for effective implementation thereof in respect of self assessment procedure.
