It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner was liable to pay CGST @ 6% and SGST @ 6% for the works executed by the petitioner for the 4th respondent for the period 01.04.2021 to 01.01.2022 and @ 9% CGST and 9% SGST for the works executed from 01.01.2022 onwards. The petitioner contends that tax was collected @ 12% for the period 01.04.2021 to 01.01.2022 and paid to the GST department. For the period 01.01.2022 till 30.11.2022, the 4th respondent only remitted 12% as CGST and the same had been passed on to the petitioner by the department. However, the 4th respondent whi .....

The 1st respondent, while assessing GST, for the period 01.01.2022 to 30.11.2022, had assessed tax payable between 01.04.2021 to 01.01.2022 @ 18%. The 1st respondent took this view on the ground that the concessional rate of 12% can be paid only in relation to works done on behalf of a government entity which also meets any one of the three requirements set out at a, b .....

Though the petitioner is primarily liable to pay the aforesaid tax, the arrangement between the petitioner and the 4th respondent is that the 4th respondent would pay the tax due to the petitioner who would then pass it on to the GST Department. The letter dated 22.05.2023 reflects this arrangement. Further, there is no contention in the counter affidavit of the 4th respondent that it is not liable to pay such tax.
