Shanti Prime Publication Pvt. Ltd.

Classification of supply— In the instant case, One of the grounds of appeal raised by the appellant is that under tax laws, the tax payer and the jurisdictional tax officer are parties between whom a dispute or difference of opinion may arise and ARA is intended to resolve possible conflicts between the tax payer and the jurisdictional tax officer.
