This is a return of incorrect tax which does not show the true position of a taxpayer by omission of
certain income or a relevant fact.
If this is through negligence heavy penalties will be improved.
It is under declaration of income or incomplete returns. This is due to:
i) gross or willful negligence on the part of the tax payer and his accountant, or;
ii) fraud on part of taxpayer

(Solved)
OjwangMatata is the owner of Mapato Supermarkets. He does not actively engage in the management of the supermarket.
He was therefore surprised recently when a team of officers from the revenue authority visited him while conducting an investigation relating to tax compliance by Mapato Supermarkets. In particular, the officers were concerned that the supermarket was under-remitting value added tax (VAT).
OjwangMatata strongly feels that the revenue authority officers should have confined their investigations to the managers and staff of the supermarket, He is further concerned that the revenue authority has allowed some of the competing businesses to deregister for VAT purposes.
Advise OjwangMatata on the following:
(i) Powers of the Commissioner General to conduct tax investigations and any restrictions thereto.
(ii) Extent of his liability (if any) for VAT unpaid by Mapato Supermarkets.
(iii) Four circumstances under which a person or business could apply for deregistration from VAT regulations.
