Re-assessment proceedings were sought to be initiated against a non-existent company as it had amalgamated with Petitioner and income of assessee had already been accounted for in books of accounts of Petitioner.
RKR. Gold P. Ltd Vs ACIT (Madras High Court) The criminal investigation wing is separate and distinct from the assessment wing and disclosure made before one wing will not exonerate the petitioner from the requirement of making a ‘full and true disclosure’ before the assessing officer in assessment. In fact, the apparent difference in the […]
Reassessment was bad in law beyond four years when the tax payer had disclosed the facts at the time of original assessment proceedings and the AO did not draw any adverse inference regarding the same.
It is trite law, valid service of notice under section 148 of the Act is sine qua non for proceeding under section 147 of the Act. In absence of valid service of notice under section 148 of the Act, the assessment proceeding under section 147 of the Act has to be declared as invalid.
The Assessing Officer has no power to review; he has the power to re-assess. But re-assessment has to be based on fulfillment of certain pre-condition and if the concept of ‘change of opinion’ is removed, as contended on behalf of the Department, then, in the garb of re¬opening the assessment, review would take place.
Notice could be issued under section 148 in relation to search and seizure as assessee was one of the investor/partner along with the others to acquire the land for TDR generation which could not be disputed and was admitted in the post search statement by the director and the assessee was provided the benefit of cross examination of the director to test check the authenticity of the transactions.
ITAT held that Income Tax reassessment initiated on the basis of borrowed satisfaction without any independent application of mind by Assessing Officer is liable to be quashed.
Bombay High Court held that reopening of assessment cannot be done against a dead Assessee under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
In this case AO has not applied his own mind before issuing notice and to arrive at conclusion that assessee has escaped an income and made addition on the basis of report submitted by Investigation Wing. So, Learned AO issued notice purely on borrowed satisfaction. In our considered opinion, in such case addition cannot be made.
High Court held that reasons provided to the petitioner did not contain any information but it is titled as ‘cash related information detail’ and such information cannot be said to be sufficient for reopening of the assessment.
