Section 35. Turnover escaping assessment

(b) been under-assessed; or

(c) been assessed at a rate lower than the rate at which it is assessable; or

(d) wrongly been allowed any deduction therefrom; or

(e) wrongly been allowed any tax credit therein,

the Commissioner may serve a notice on the dealer and after giving the dealer an opportunity of being heard and making such inquiry as he considers necessary, proceed to determine to the best of his judgment, the amount of tax due from the dealer in respect of such turnover which comes to his notice subsequently, and the provisions of this Act shall, so far as may be, apply accordingly.

(2) No order shall be made under sub-section (1) after the expiry of five years from the end of the year in respect of which or part of which the tax is assessable;
