Re: Autogarment

Additional Ground

For that the DCT erred in making an addition of Tk. 100,40,907 in trading and the ground so cited by him due to the facts stated below are not maintainable in law as well as in facts.

Our garment factories are located in Mirpur, Dhaka. As per decision of the management, the bills of electricity, gas, and other common utility services were shared equally based on sanction load among these companies since long and which was accepted by the taxation authority while assessing these companies in different circles in different years. All these are taxable companies under the status of “company”. These Companies are paying tax at corporate rates. There are no outside tenants in our above premises and also no individual sister concerns are located there in.

As the aforesaid basis of allocation of common utility charges are observed as per decision of the management since long and accepted by the tax authorities now the basis cannot be changed in an individual case in the year under review.

In view of the facts stated above, the change of accepted basis of allocation of common expenses are not acceptable and not allowed under the principle of Accounting and Tax laws. Hence, for the sake of justice the addition made in trading account must be deleted in full on merit on accounting consistency. This is the rules of tax on imported goods.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
