Instructions to ensure careful handling of registration, cancellation, and revocation of registration processes for fake taxpayers under GST system
Babulal Hajarimalji Jain Vs ITO (ITAT Mumbai) Undisputedly the entire addition in this case has been made by the AO as well as Ld. CIT(A) on the basis of guess work and estimation on the basis of some alleged information received from Sales Tax Department of Maharashtra and from DGIT (Inv.), Mumbai that “the assessee […]
AO has no right to calculate sales on hypothetical basis ignoring the evidence submitted during the course of assessment proceedings. Once the amount is declared as turn over cannot be called concealed income and be taxed doubly on same amount. The addition U/s 68 is beyond jurisdiction of the ld. AO as the turnover is already reflected in the books of the assessee.
Assessee through bills established co-relation between sales and purchase and merely not producing original bills cannot make purchase bogus
ITAT held that penalty u/s. 271(1)(c) on Bogus purchase addition cannot be levied where addition was made on estimated basis.
No ad hoc addition for bogus purchases should be made. Addition should be made to the extent of difference between gross profit rate on genuine purchases and GP rate on hawala purchases
HC held that Tribunal, therefore, correctly restricted the additions limited to the extent of bringing G.P. rate on bogus purchases at the same rate of other genuine purchases.
