Application for vces


This query is : Resolved 

16 August 2013 Dear Sir
My client has paid his service tax dues with interest but hasnt filed his returns for the last 2 yrs.
Can he claim relief against penalty for non filing through vces ??

16 August 2013 VCES is only for PAYMENT of service tax.

It is NOT applicable for non-filing of service tax return.

16 August 2013 if there is a liability which is still unpaid corresponding to the same period then ?
does he still have to pay penalty of late filing coz section 98(1) states that immunity shall be available for penalty,intt or any other proceeding under the chapter. ?

17 August 2013 Though you are not eligible for VCES but you should file belated returns. The penalty is Rs. 500/- to maximum of Rs. 2000.00 per return, the excise officer has the power to waive the penalty in view of the following proviso to rule 7C

Provided also that where the gross amount of service tax payable is nil, the Central Excise officer
officer may, on being satisfied that there is sufficient reason for not filing the return, reduce or waive the
penalty

You should therefore file return with waiver request.
