Small Business Tax Dispute Resolved: HC Allows Reply After Partial Tax Deposit, Directs Fresh Assessment Within 90 Days
Tax dispute involving small-time operator challenged tax assessment order. HC set aside original order, allowing petitioner to file reply after depositing 10% of disputed tax. Respondent directed to issue fresh order within three months. Petition disposed of without costs, providing opportunity for procedural reconsideration.
Issues: Challenge to impugned order on tax liability, interest, and penalty.
Analysis: In this case, the petitioner challenged an order passed by the respondent confirming a sum of Rs. 3,00,626 against the petitioner for tax liability, interest, and penalty. The tax liability component alone amounted to Rs. 1,37,914. The petitioner, described as a small-time operator, claimed to have missed notices and failed to participate in the proceedings due to lack of awareness. The petitioner sought an opportunity to respond to the show cause notice and was willing to deposit 10% of the disputed tax. The respondent argued that the petition lacked merit, emphasizing the petitioner's failure to engage in the proceedings.
The Court, after hearing arguments from both sides, decided to set aside the impugned order dated 22.12.2023. The petitioner was granted the liberty to file a reply to the show cause notice dated 27.09.2023, provided they deposited 10% of the disputed tax within 30 days. The quashed order was to be considered an addendum to the show cause notice. Upon compliance by the petitioner, the respondent was directed to issue fresh orders promptly, preferably within three months. The Court disposed of the Writ Petition with the mentioned directions, without imposing any costs, and closed the connected miscellaneous petition.
