Insolvent Taxpayer Granted Waiver on Interest and Penalties for Non-Payment of Advance Tax Due to Insolvency Issues.

June 8, 2022

Case Laws     Income Tax     HC

Waiver of interest - interest liability should be computed from the last date for payment of tax in the relevant assessment year up to the date of payment at the same rate of 6% per annum. Ordinarily, the assessee would also be liable to pay interest and penalty for non-payment of advance tax. However, on account of the following reasons: the ex-insolvent/ assessee was not in a position to remit income tax; she took all possible measures to procure payment of tax; and the debatable nature of and legitimate doubts regarding the tax liability of the estate of an insolvent, the assessee is entitled to a waiver of interest and penalty as regards non-payment of advance tax. - HC
