SERVICE TAX
Migration from Service Tax regime to GST regime has caused certain intricate situations of cases
pending under Service Tax. Suits initiated or Appeals preferred just before and pending after GST
Act implementation need to be handled very carefully to avoid wrong presentation of cases. It
therefore, needs the support of a competent advocate with distinguishing knowledge on overlapping
provisions under Service Act and GST Act.
These are called Service Tax Legacy Cases.
Business houses handling same products and services, before and after implementation of GST Act,
need to be extra cautious in handling Legacy Cases without mixing or mingling or misrepresenting
under the two Acts.
We handle legacy issues of adjudication before department authorities on central
excise and service tax matters
We also take up defence for our clients to seek appropriate relief before the
Learned Commissioner - Appeals, the Honourable Customs Excise & Service
Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), the Honourable High Courts and the
Honourable Supreme Court of India.
