Issues: Whether assessment orders passed under the Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006 could be sustained when the assessee had not filed objections to the proposals and sought an opportunity to file objections with supporting documents, and whether the matters required fresh adjudication after granting such opportunity.
Analysis: The assessment arose out of proceedings under the Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax Act, 2006, following a surprise inspection under Section 65 and prior assessment under Section 22(2). The assessee had repeatedly sought time and had not filed objections before the assessing authority. At the same time, the governing legal position required the assessing authority to make an independent assessment uninfluenced by the Enforcement Wing proposal. In the peculiar facts, the absence of filed objections did not justify a final confirmation of the proposals without affording a last opportunity, particularly when the assessee undertook to file objections along with supporting documents and deposit part of the disputed tax.
Conclusion: The assessment orders were set aside and the matter was remitted for fresh consideration after the assessee files objections and pays 15% of the disputed tax within the stipulated time, with personal hearing and a fresh order to follow in accordance with law.
