The order of suspension of registration was challenged by the appellant's counsel, who argued that it was passed without providing an opportunity to be heard and that all documentary evidence had been submitted. After considering the arguments from both sides, the Tribunal found merit in the appellant's objections. Consequently, the suspension of registration was stayed for a period of 21 days, allowing the taxpayer to present relevant documentation to the designated officer to demonstrate that no default had occurred. The case was scheduled for a follow-up hearing on 11-08-2016. |
