Consequently, the disallowance of purchases was upheld. - Considering the appellant's argument for a lower percentage of disallowance based on the profit margin accepted in other assessment years, the Tribunal decided to restrict the disallowance to 5% of the disputed purchases, consistent with previous decisions in the appellant's case.
