- No.of Pages: 360
Escapement of income chargeable to tax is a subject with very wide dimensions. It may arise either because of the failure of the person liable to tax to file the return of income or because of non-disclosure of income from certain source or because of any of the situations specified in Explanation 2 to section 147. Care has been taken by the legislature e to ensure that no harassment is caused to taxpayers or that the completed assessments are not reopened without valid reasons. The Assessing Officer is, therefore, statutorily required to record reasons for formation of belief that income chargeable to tax has escaped assessment. Assessing Officers are familiar with the provisions relating to “income escaping assessment”, i.e. section 147. This is commonly known as reassessment. However, it is seen that many times, the scope of section 147 is not understood correctly.
Against this backdrop, the Book is prepared for exchanging thoughts on “Reopening of assessment” for Department as well as for Professionals. The Book endeavours to leave no stone unturned to bring out in depth analysis and research on this subject. The book covers an extensive analysis on the reassessment provisions in light of landmarks judgements which will help Department as well as professionals to face dispose the litigations hastily
