The Central goods and services tax (GST) department has been issuing show cause notices (SCNs) for FY2014-15 for difference in receipts as per service tax return and income tax (I-T) return in bulk without going into the legality and without fulfilling the mandate given by the law for issue of such SCN and notices have been issued even to professionals like doctors, who are Corona warriors, and are not even liable to service tax levy, says a report quoting The Chartered Accountants Association.
In the report, Facelesscompliance.com says, The notices have been issued on the basis of discrepancies in I-T and service tax even in cases, where departmental audit has already been done. Notices have been issued blanket and without any due diligence, leading to creation of unnecessary hardship for assesses. An attempt is being made by the departmental officers to create disputes and demands for reasons best known to them.
