Extended period of limitation can be invoked only when suppression or collusion is willful with an intent to evade tax

Last updated: 29 September 2021
Quick Summary
The CESTAT ruled that the extended period of limitation for tax evasion can only be invoked if suppression or collusion is proven to be wilful and intended to evade tax. In this case, the appellant had declared the use of exemption notifications in their returns, meaning there was no suppression of facts. Therefore, the extended period of limitation was not applicable, and the original order was set aside as it went beyond the initial allegations.
