Now that the ST on rental as per the DHC has been decided what should the tax payer do is the question?
Whether they should stop paying as the Revenue is sure to go in appeal to the SC.
It is certain now that the vast majority would stop paying the ST and those who have paid would claim the refund as long as they have not collected from the tenants. Tenats who have paid also would apply for refund. Huge amountof litigation- time and effort wasted of Goivt and tax payer to no avail.
The attitude of taxing anything and everything due to the need to augment the huge Govt. Cost of running causes so much misery .
No doubt that India has been rated as having the most miserable tax laws in the world.
