Refund rejection without a reasonable opportunity to reply to the show-cause notice breached principles of natural justice. Although the Department had discretion to grant further time, that discretion had to be exercised fairly; where the taxpayer sought extension the next day to gather documents and file a reply, immediate rejection on expiry of a short period showed unwarranted haste.
