Inventory write-off and fraudulent/wrongful trading allegations in corporate insolvency led to director liability principles applied and appeal dismis...
Dispute concerns revenue recognition where the assessing officer treated finished goods/advances as sales despite the assessee following the project completion method. The tribunal found that the amounts were offered to tax in subsequent assessment years and taxed on profits thereon, making the AO's estimate result in double taxation; accordingly the addition treating such stock/advances as turnover was deleted. Reliance on precedents supporting deletion where income is taxed in later years was noted. Resultantly, all grounds of appeal raising this treatment were allowed and the impugned additions were set aside.
