Deep dive - the full story
ITAT Quashes AY 2016-17 Reassessment: Section 148 Notice Issued After Surviving Limitation Tax administration laws establish strict limitation periods beyond which revenue authorities cannot reopen past assessment years to safeguard taxpayers from indefinite legal uncertainty.
When notices are issued outside these statutory windows without satisfying valid extended limitation conditions, the reassessment lacks jurisdiction. Tax practitioners and chartered accountants must carefully examine the exact dates of notice issuance against applicable limitation rules when reviewing client reassessment cases.
Keep track of tribunal decisions regarding limitation periods and advise clients to challenge time-barred notices promptly.
