Reopening of assessment invalid if based on “change of opinion”

February 18, 2021 1107 Views 0 comment Print

We are of the view that the AO has re-opened the assessment on mere change of opinion, because it is the assessing officer who took a different view at the time of reopening of assessment, i.e., he has entertained an opinion that the family members should have transferred the gold to the assessee firm and then the assessee firm should have held the gold on its own account.

ITAT quashes reopening of assessment as AO not alleged that Assessee failed to disclose material facts during Original Assessment

January 28, 2021 2088 Views 0 comment Print

Since there was no allegation by AO on failure on the part of assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for assessment, therefore, reopening of assessment was not based on sound footing and hence the impugned assessment order framed u/s.143(3) r.w.s. 147 was illegal and liable to be quashed.
