Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has allowed a review petition filed by the Revenue Department regarding the taxability of duty-free shops. Previously, the court had ruled that duty-free shops at airports were outside India's customs frontiers, exempting them from service tax. The Revenue Department contested this, arguing that the tax regime for goods differs from that for services. The court has now recalled its earlier judgement and will hear the case alongside sixteen other related appeals.
