Karnataka High Court
Where writ petitioner, a works contractor, sought directions to file returns or amended returns with relaxed penalty, interest or limitation based on reimbursement clause in contract, such contractual entitlement could not override mandatory GST statutory scheme, and no directions could be issued to relax statutory interest, penalty or limitation for filing returns or revised returns, thus impugned relief granted to petitioner by Single Judge was unsustainable GST: Where works contractor received contract pre-GST but invoices post- 01.07.2017 included GST at 12 percent and post-audit demand was raised at 18 percent, direction for reimbursement of GST liability including interest and penalty was enforceable only against employer and not against tax authorities or State, thus, impugned order was to be set aside to that extent
Karnataka High Court
Where sub-contractor filed GST returns belatedly and GST authorities initiated garnishee action for recovery of interest on delayed payment, Single Judge's direction permitting filing or amendments of returns post 01.07.2017 without insisting on interest, penalty or limitation and restraining recovery was unsustainable since liability to interest arises by statutory mandate and cannot be waived or reduced in absence of specific provision GST: Where a sub-contractor executed works under contracts entered before GST rollout, reimbursement of incremental GST liability due to regime change arose solely between contracting parties and could not bind tax authorities, and statutory provisions for levy and collection of GST could not be altered by contractual terms, making any reimbursement direction enforceable only against employer and not against tax authorities
