Levy of VAT (tax) - Turnover of old machinery and equipment after the closure of business - The central contention is the interpretation of the amended definition of "business" and the classification of the assets sold. The revisionist argues for a broader interpretation, encompassing all transactions related to goods acquired during business operation, while the respondent maintains that the assets sold are capital goods and thus exempt from taxation. - The High Court, after careful consideration, rules in favor of the respondent (assessee).
