25 February 2015 No penalty for late filing of Nil return.


Citation: M/s SUCHAK MARKETING PVT LTD VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF SERVICE TAX, KOLKATA (2013 (6) TMI 641 - CESTAT KOLKATA)

Penalty for late filing of Nil return - Held that:- in view of the Boards Circular No.97/8/07-ST dated 23.08.2007, in the event, no service is rendered by the service provider, there is no requirement to file ST-3 Returns. - there is nothing contrary to that circular - as per Rule 7C of the Service Tax Rules, in the event, nil returns are filed, the assessing officer had the discretion to waive the late fees for filing the ST-3 Returns. In my view, it is a fit case to invoke the proviso to Rule 7C and waive the late fees relating to the nil returns filed by the appellant during the period April, 2005 to March, 2008. - Penalty dropped.

26 February 2015 As per Rule 7B of the Service Tax Rules 1994, an assessee may file a service tax revised return only once within a period of 90 days from the date of submission of Return under Rule 7.

26 February 2015 if we fail to filed revised return before 90 day ... what will be the solution for it ...

26 February 2015 then not much u can do and u can only intimate the service tax department regarding the same and retain a copy of letter with u.
