Last updated: 11 December 2025
Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that tax liability under Section 79 of the TNGST Act still applies even if services have been rendered but payment has not been received. In this case, the petitioner had cancelled invoices after the fact, but the court found their reply to the tax authorities to be incomplete. The case was remanded for a fresh order, requiring the petitioner to provide proper substantiating evidence.
