Income Tax notice: Due to this mistake of the Income Tax Department, many taxpayers are getting troubled today because the department is sending them tax notices in some cases which are 15 years old and asking them to pay the tax. What is this matter, let us know in detail in the news below.
If you have been paying income tax for the last 10 to 15 years, then this news will shock you. The Income Tax Department has sent tax notices to income taxpayers in some cases that are 15 years old.
In these notices, tax payers have been asked to pay old taxes. Some taxpayers say that notice has been sent again for the tax already paid. This matter has been placed before the Income Tax Department.
Notices sent during the last few weeks
According to the news published in Live Hindustan, these notices have been sent by the department during the last few weeks. In these notices it has been said to deposit the tax amount within a week.
Some of these notices are related to assessment years 2003-04 and 2004-05. In this regard, the department said that it is expected that those who receive notices will have old tax outstanding. In such a situation, notices are being sent to the income tax payers by the department.
There is no dues of the tax department.
Taxpayers who have received such notices are very worried about them. Their argument is that documents so many years old have now been lost. Some had made payment without challan. In such a situation, how will it be proved that they have paid taxes years ago? Those who have received the notice say that we do not have any dues of the Income Tax Department. We have paid the tax in full.
In this entire matter, experts say that such irregularities can happen after the implementation of the new system by the Income Tax Department. In most cases, taxes have been paid or necessary reforms have been implemented years ago. But nothing related to these changes is visible in the new system of the department. Until this problem is solved, the department should keep such cases on hold.
