Speciality Restaurants Limited: Tamil Nadu Sales Tax Tribunal dismisses rectification petitions
Speciality Restaurants Limited's rectification petitions regarding VAT on food and beverages for assessment years 2006-09 have been dismissed by the Tamil Nadu Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal. The company deposited ₹1.72 crore earlier, so there's no cash flow impact.
The company had already deposited the disputed amount, and the tribunal's order does not have a cash flow impact. The financial impact is limited to the already deposited amount, and there is no impact on operations, resulting in a low impact.
The tribunal dismissed the company's petitions, which is a negative outcome. However, the company had already deposited the disputed amount, mitigating any immediate cash flow impact, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Speciality Restaurants Limited has announced that the Tamil Nadu Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, Chennai, has passed an order concerning miscellaneous petitions filed by the company. These petitions sought rectification of earlier orders dated August 28, 2015, and March 13, 2017. The petitions related to the levy of value-added tax on the supply of food and non-alcoholic beverages for the assessment years 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09.
The Tribunal, in its order dated April 27, 2026, signed by the Manager on May 18, 2026, and received by the company on July 21, 2026, held that no error was apparent on the face of the record warranting rectification. Consequently, all six petitions have been dismissed, affirming the earlier orders.
The company is consulting with its tax advisors and evaluating available legal remedies. Speciality Restaurants Limited had deposited ₹1,71,68,672 with the relevant authorities at the time of filing the petitions. As this amount was already deposited, the order does not have any cash flow impact on the company. The financial impact could be limited to the extent of the amount previously deposited. There is no impact on the company's operations or other activities. The information will also be available on the company's website.
