Those who are working and fall under a tax slab as per their annual income get TDS deducted by their employers on a monthly basis, whereas small business owners are often seen escaping the tax demon by hiding their actual annual income. Correspondingly, they save thousands on taxes, which is not a very good idea to save the taxes because these people are going to get a tax notice sooner or later. These transgressions can invite penalties and the person has to pay up to 300% of the unpaid amount as the tax.
Scrutiny assessment refers to the examination of a return of income by giving an opportunity to the assessee to substantiate the income declared and the expenses, deductions, losses, exemptions, etc. claimed in the return with the help of evidence.
Gain insights into Limited Scrutiny under CASS and its retrospective nature. Understand the reasons behind case selection and the guidelines issued by CBDT.
The issue under consideration whether conversion of the case from limited scrutiny to complete scrutiny is justified in law?
1. What is Scrutiny? Once the assessee files his return of income, irrespective of whether it is filed within the due date or in pursuance to a notice requiring the assessee to file his return, the department can initiate scrutiny proceedings if it has reason to believe that income is escaping assessment, i.e. income is under stated of expenditure is over stated.
