Dear Satbir,

In the Finance Budget 2012 there was a notification which stated that if service tax on renting of immovable property was deposited within six months (if not paid earlier due to pendency of this matter in various courts of India), then, no interest and penalty would be levied.

Further, ACES was in force.  You would had seek the benefit of such Schemes to avoid any interest and penalty.

But in your case, the Audit Party has deducted this non payment of Service Tax on Renting of Immovable Property. Therefore, in our opinion Department may impose penalty on your organization.  However, you may avail the benefit of Section 80 of the Finance Act, 1994 for not imposing the penalty on your organization.

dear satbir,

There may be genuine cases, where the assessee may not be knowing his service tax liability; ( let us assume & proceed on this assumption ) Then in such cases, the assessee may use the provisions contained in Section 73(3), to avoid levy of penalty. To avail this benefit, the assessee should pay both service tax and interest before the serving the show cause notice. Then the assessee should intimate the details of payment to the central excise officer . ( pl refer Sen brothers Vs. Commissioner of central excise, Bolpur - 2014 (33) S.T.R. 704 ( TRI - KOLKATA )= 2013 (12) TMI 433 - CESTAT KOLKATA
