Procedural Posture

Commercial Appeal / Judgment on Appeal

  1. 1 Whether proper service of tax audit notification was effected on AGESPRO Security Ltd
  2. 2 Whether the limitation period for tax assessment was interrupted by the notification of 23/12/2009
  3. 3 Whether the lower court erred in determining the amount and type of tax owed by AGESPRO Security Ltd

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that RRA did not comply with the legal requirements for service of the audit notification, as no formal record of refusal was made. The audit was not conducted as per the notification in terms of timing and personnel, so the limitation period was not interrupted. Neither party sufficiently proved the exact tax amounts or types owed. The appeal lacked merit and the lower court's decision stands.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed; lower court decision affirmed

  • RRA to pay 12,900 Rwandan Francs in costs within 30 days, enforceable by state if unpaid
