The dominant issue was whether rejection of the taxpayer's application under s. 119(2)(b) for condonation of an eight-minute delay in e-filing the return was legally sustainable, resulting in denial of carry-forward of losses. The record showed the tax audit report was uploaded within time and the taxpayer logged into the portal before midnight, with the return uploaded only eight minutes after the deadline.
