About This Service

GST & Taxation Litigation at VS Arora & Co.

GST implementation brought new compliance requirements and, inevitably, new disputes: incorrect tax demands, input tax credit reversals, classification disputes, wrongful cancellation of GST registration and fraudulent refund blocking. Prompt, informed responses to SCNs and departmental proceedings are critical to avoiding penalties and interest.

VS Arora & Co. assists businesses with GST show cause notice (SCN) responses, GST audit representation, appeals before the Appellate Authority and the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), and writ petitions before the High Court for jurisdictional or constitutional issues. We also handle income tax assessment disputes, penalty proceedings and appeals before CIT(A) and ITAT.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What happens if I do not respond to a GST show cause notice?

A

Failure to respond results in an ex-parte order confirming the demand, penalty and interest — which can be significantly higher than the original dispute. Always respond within the prescribed time limit.

Q

Can GST ITC reversals be contested?

A

Yes. ITC reversals can be contested if the reversal is legally incorrect — for example, where the supplier has paid tax but the credit is blocked due to a mismatch. We analyse the specific ground of reversal and advise accordingly.

Q

What is the GST appeal process?

A

An order from the GST officer can be appealed to the Appellate Authority (within 3 months), then to the GSTAT (once constituted), then to the High Court and finally the Supreme Court. Pre-deposit of 10-25% of the disputed tax is required at each level.

Q

Can a writ petition bypass the GST appeal process?

A

A writ petition is generally not maintainable where an efficacious statutory remedy (the appeal process) exists. However, writs may be entertained for jurisdictional defects, violation of natural justice, or where the SCN is wholly without jurisdiction.
