If you fall within the boundary laid down by this single phrase, you would be in LUCK and easily opt for the scheme that can save you up to 70% of your service tax and central excise tax dues. It will not only save you money it would buy you peace too.
Right before we dive in, I will request you to remember two things:
1 - the date "July 1".
2 - the word "going on"
I will tell you the scheme name in the end of this Ripple.
And now here is the pith of the scheme.
Cases going on before July 1 can CLAIM and SAVE 70% (or less) of service tax or central excise due.
So, if your service tax or excise case is going on (ie not finalised) before Jul 1 2019 then your are in LUCK.
The scheme gets you 70% tax relief + 0 Penalties + Guaranteed Peace.
The Scheme's name is "SABKA VISHWAS (Legacy Dispute Resolution) SCHEME 2019"
It started on Sep 1 2019 and will continue till Dec 31 2019.
The scheme has only 4 steps.
You take 2 steps and department takes other 2.
Step 1 - Your step - File the application.
Step 2 - Department's step - Verify the application and tell you the taxes due.
Step 3 - Your step - Pay the Taxes.
Step 4 - Department's step - Issue the discharge certificate.
That's it - YOU ARE DONE.
In the next ripple I will take you through the detailed STEPS. So that you find this entire process as easy as pie.
Al that said let me tell you that - the scheme is optional and you can still chose to fight your case.
In fact, I would advise you to judiciously evaluate what is good for you and then act.
