Nature and purpose
Nature and purpose legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Audit selection was non-reactive and not default driven, but a neutral process to assess the performance and efficiency of the tax system
Any taxpayer was identified and selected for audit because he fell in the objective selection criteria, which was designed to check the compliance and health of the tax system and for no other reason
Audit was rooted in impartiality, neutrality and objectivity and it was for this reason that Audit had a wide scope of inquiry and engulfed the entire "tax affairs of a person or a taxpayer."
Selection for audit was not an "adverse order" but a neutral function required to survey the compliance of the tax system
Selection for audit was not an investigative tool targeting a person/taxpayer on the basis of the tax return filed by him.
