Service Tax to be paid on the income received under business ancillary services


Quick Summary
The CESTAT, Ahmedabad has ruled that financial hardship is not a valid reason for failing to pay service tax on income received from Business Ancillary Services (BAS). The assessee in this case had received commission income but deliberately failed to disclose it in their monthly returns, despite being aware of the service tax liability. The tribunal upheld the demand for service tax and penalties, dismissing the appeal.
