Punjab Cricket Association to get Service Tax Show cause Notice
Chandigarh Chief Commissioner, Sra told reporters that his Department was considering issue of Show cause Notice to PCA for conducting IPL and evading the service tax. “Some of the areas of IPL such as event management, advertising and franchise arrangements, come under the purview of Service” , according to him. But instead of issuing the Show cause Notice, why is he giving press statements? Does the Department want publicity or tax? Can the Department go round publication of names even without issuing a Show cause Notice?
What applies to Punjab applies to all other places where the IPL matches are held; why are the other Chief Commissioners not issuing press statements? DDT was witness to a senior officer frantically trying for complimentary passes for self and family, including vantage seats for the kids to watch the matches, Service Tax evasion notwithstanding. Howzzat ? It's not Cricket!
