Decision |
The instant appeal filed by the department is directed against an order dated 11.01.2012 passed by learned CIR (Appeal-Ill), Islamabad relating to tax year 2009. The tribunal decided not to interfere in the CIR(A) order and rejected the appeal of the department. The taxpayer derived income from running a cloth store and had filed a return declaring net income at Rs. 130,000/-. An audit notice was issued, but no one appeared. The amended assessment estimated the sales at Rs. 5,000,000/-. The Appeal Commissioner vacated the amended assessment order, finding the estimation based on whims and surmises with no substantial ground. The findings of the learned CIR (A) were in accordance with law, leading to the rejection of the appeal. |
