Section 144C requires a draft assessment order before a final assessment order is made against an eligible foreign company where a prejudicial variation is proposed. The draft-order procedure enables the taxpayer to accept the variation or seek directions from the Dispute Resolution Panel before finalisation. Non-compliance is a jurisdictional defect rather than a curable procedural irregularity, and vitiates the final assessment order. Applying this principle, the assessment order was set aside for failure to issue a draft order; the taxpayer's cross-objection succeeded and the Revenue's merits appeal became infructuous.
