JUDGMENT
Piyush Agrawal, J.
Heard Shri Aditya Pandey, learned counsel for the revisionist and Shri Ravi Shankar Pandey, learned ACSC for the State - respondents.
2. The present revision has been filed against the judgement & order dated 28.12.2017 passed by the Commercial Tax Tribunal, Jhansi in Second Appeal No. 442/2017 for the assessment year 2015-16.
3. This Court, vide order dated 03.04.2018, admitted the revision on question nos. A & B, which reads as under:-
Taxable turnover for businesses, especially in fluctuating sectors like restaurants, should not be solely determined by a single day's sales, particularly on festival days.
Enhancement of turnover under Central Sales Tax Act requires clear evidence; rejection of local sales accounts does not justify such enhancements.
THE ESTIMATION OF TURNOVERS ON THE BASIS OF CONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITY IS ONLY ONE OF THE PERMISSIBLE MODES AND THAT TOO WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER EVIDENCE AND ONLY ON SHOWING THERE IS ANY DIRECT NEXUS ....
Assessments under tax laws must be supported by material evidence, and procedural requirements such as issuing notices are essential for legality.
Income from REP licenses cannot be taxed as turnover under the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959.
Assessments beyond five years are invalid without proper notice, and best judgment assessments require rejection of returns, which was not adhered to in this case.
