    <title>GST assessment against a deceased proprietor is invalid; fresh proceedings require notice and hearing for the legal representative.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=102716</link>
    <description>GST assessment against a deceased proprietor has no legal efficacy, particularly where it is completed without the statutory personal-hearing opportunity under Section 75(4). The assessment order and consequential appellate rejection were declared invalid because the assessment followed the proprietor&#039;s death and did not address the hearing requirement. Fresh assessment proceedings may be initiated by issuing notice and providing a hearing to the legal representative or person carrying on the business. Recovery is limited to the deceased person&#039;s available estate, and the intervening period may be excluded when computing limitation for fresh proceedings.</description>
