| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the reference filed against the judgment of the Customs, Central Excise and Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, which concerned two main questions regarding the denial of input tax adjustment. It was determined that the genuineness of the tax invoices was essential for sustaining a claim of input tax adjustment. The court found that the applicant had admitted to non-productive electricity consumption and acknowledged the receipt of fake invoices, leading to the conclusion that no legal issues arose for determination, thus dismissing the reference. |
