Claim of Assessee of Profit lower than 8% cannot be denied for mere non-submission of Tax Audit Report

January 26, 2022 5787 Views 0 comment Print

In our opinion, non submission of section 44AB report in cases like this does not render the assessee’s claim of a lower profit void ab initio. Failure to comply with section 44AB has to be dealt with under the provisions of section 271B. Here, the exposition emanating out of Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court decision and the Tribunal decision cited supra are germane. Just that initial assessment has been done u/s 143(1), the Revenue cannot invoke provisions of re-assessment on any ground they can pick up from thin air. The Revenue can also not interpolate consequences of no compliance of provisions of the Act other than what has been expressly provided in the statute.”
