Central Government has vide Notification No.35/2016-Service Tax dated 23.06.2016,
has exempted taxable services from levy of Krishi Kalyan Cess (“KKC”) in cases
which satisfies the following two conditions:
– Where invoices have been raised
prior to 01.06.2016; and
– Where provision of service has
been completed prior to 01.6.2016.
Accordingly, the concern of the
industry that KKC shall be levied on the opening debtors i.e. remaining unpaid
as on 31.03.2016 has been duly answered and no KKC shall be levied on such
amounts. Though the notification is effective from 23.6.2016, payments of
opening debtors as received between 01.6.2016 and 22.6.2016 can still be a
cause of litigation, however, we trust that the government would read the
Notification to provide relief to their assesses for such period also. It
is also important to mention that the provision of service should be completed
in total and no relief in terms of proportionate completion is mentioned in the
notification.
Thus, the levy of KKC can be
explained as under:
