Section: 13(2)

Income Tax Ordinance (XXXI of 1979)------S.13(2)---Cost of construction declared by assessee---Addition---If the difference in the declared value and the determined value is nominal or is not too low, the provisions of S.13(2), Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 would not be attracted. 1991 PTD (Trib.) 294 ref.
