The Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue remanded the case back to the Assistant Commissioner Audit Inland Revenue, Islamabad, directing them to examine all the documents and Sales Tax Invoices thoroughly. The Tribunal found that the sales tax invoices and relevant records had not been properly examined by the lower authorities. The original order passed by the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals-I) was annulled, and the appellant's claim for input adjustment was deemed necessary to be reconsidered. The case was sent back for a proper opportunity for the taxpayer to explain their case, highlighting the need for thorough examination and fair proceedings. |
