The dispute resolution component is aimed at liquidating the legacy cases of Central Excise and Service Tax that are subsumed in GST and are pending in litigation at various forums. The amnesty component of the Scheme offers an opportunity to the taxpayers to pay the outstanding tax and be free of any other consequence under the law. The most attractive aspect of the Scheme is that it provides substantial relief in the tax dues for all categories of cases as well as full waiver of interest, fine, penalty, In all these cases, there would be no other liability of interest, fine or penalty. There is also a complete amnesty from prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all the cases pending in adjudication or appeal \u2013 in any\nforum &#8211; this Scheme offers a relief of 70% from the duty demand if it is Rs.50\nlakhs or less and 50% if it is more than Rs. 50 lakhs. The same relief is\navailable for cases under investigation and audit where the duty involved is\nquantified and communicated to the party or admitted by him in a statement on\nor before 30th June, 2019. Further, in cases of confirmed duty demand, where\nthere is no appeal pending, the relief offered is 60% of the confirmed duty\namount if the same is Rs. 50 lakhs or less and it is 40%, if the confirmed duty\namount is more than Rs. 50 lakhs. Finally, in cases of voluntary disclosure,\nthe person availing the Scheme will have to pay only the full amount of\ndisclosed duty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the objective of the Scheme is to free as large a segment\nof the taxpayers from the legacy taxes as possible, the relief given thereunder\nis substantial. The Scheme is especially tailored to free the large number of\nsmall taxpayers of their pending disputes with the tax administration.\nGovernment urges the taxpayers and all concerned to avail the SabkaVishwas &#8211;\nLegacy Dispute Resolution Scheme, 2019 and make a new beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Union Budget 2019-20, the Hon\u2019ble Finance Minister announced the Sabka Vishwas-Legacy Dispute Resolution Scheme, 2019.
