Commissioner of Service Tax, Mumbai,passed an order, which has
raised demand aggregating to Rs 604 million, penalty of same amount
and interest on account of service tax payable on toll collected by
some of its subsidiaries. However, the company contradicted on the
aforesaid order and said, "We would like to state that no service
tax is payable on toll paid by users of roads, including those
constructed by the SPVs under a BOT agreement, as clarified by
Ministry of Finance vide their circular issued on Feb. 22, 2012 to
all commissioners of service tax and other field officers.We
believe that the demand is erroneous. We will therefore file an
appeal against these orders before the competent authority to seek
relief."
