Taxpayer entitled to refund under Inverted Duty Structure when tax on input erroneously charged by the Supplier at higher rate


Quick Summary
The Madras High Court has ruled that a taxpayer is entitled to a refund under the Inverted Duty Structure, even if the supplier erroneously charged a higher rate of tax on input materials. The court upheld the refund order, stating there was no illegality in the Assistant Commissioner's (Appeals) decision. Consequently, the Revenue Department was directed to issue the refund along with interest.
