Service Tax Demand not valid when Tax and Interest Paid much before Issuing SCN: CESTAT
Appeal Against OrderExcise, VAT & Custom
The CESTAT ruled that a service tax demand is not valid when the tax and interest were paid much before issuing the show cause notice (SCN).

The ruling protects taxpayers from unwarranted demands when they have already fulfilled their tax obligations. This reinforces the principle that tax demands must be based on outstanding dues.
