Therefore, demand of service tax in the impugned matter legally not correct on this ground also. The impugned order cannot be sustained as there is no specific allegation in the show-cause notice on the category of the Business Auxiliary Service - the impugned order is not sustainable on limitation - Even though the demand is restricted to normal period, the total value of taxable services is within the small-scale exemption - Either way, the impugned order is not sustainable - Appeal allowed. - MR.

Learned Consultant further submits that it is incorrect to tax the amounts received towards sharing of international profit as held in Charanjeet Singh Khanuja (supra); incentives received cannot be taxed as held in Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Co. Ltd.- 2015 (38) STR 1159 (Tri. Mumbai) and Asveen Air Travels (P) Ltd.- 2022 (64) GSTL 551 (Tri. Chennai); learned Commissioner (Appeals), though has given relief on account of Out of India Commission for the year 2010-11, did not give relief for previous years i.e. 2007-2010, by oversight. Learned Consultant fairly concedes that as held in Charanjeet Singh Khanuja (supra), the Commission earned in multilevel marketing, and other incentives are taxable; however, looking into the fact that the impugned order is liable to be set aside for demanding tax without specifying the service and on limitation, th .....

Another plea raised in these appeals is regarding limitation. It is the contention of the assessees that there was absolutely no suppression or mis-statement of facts or deliberate contravention of the provisions of the Finance Act, 1994 or of the Rules made thereunder with intent to evade payment of Service tax. The Department s contention, on the other hand, is that the assessees neither obtained service tax registration nor did they declare their activities to the jurisdictional Service tax authorities nor did they file ST-3 Return and, therefore, they are guilty of suppression of relevant facts and deliberate violation of the provisions of Finance Act, 1994 and of the Rules made thereunder with intent to evade payment of tax.
