Stock transfer valuation and limitation objections supported a strong prima facie case, securing waiver of pre-deposit and stay of recovery.

In a stock transfer valuation dispute, the Tribunal recorded that the appellants relied on prior decisions supporting adoption of the discounted price for depot transfers and also raised a limitation objection based on periodic filing of invoices and finalisation of RT-12 assessments. On that basis, it found a strong prima facie case in favour of the appellants for interim relief. Unconditional waiver of pre-deposit of duty and penalty was granted, and recovery of duty and penalty was stayed during the pendency of the proceedings.
