Ventive Hospitality challenges Rs 6.38 crore tax demand deemed computational error

An announcement from Ventive Hospitality Limited ( (IN:VENTIVE) ) is now available.

Ventive Hospitality Limited has disclosed that it received an order from the Income Tax Department under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act for assessment year 2024-25, which, despite not altering the assessed income versus the filed return, has generated an erroneous tax demand of Rs 6.38 crore due to calculation errors in the assessment order. The company plans to file a rectification application under section 154 to correct the computation, stating it is confident the demand will be nullified and emphasizing that the assessment order does not affect its financial position, operations or other activities, a point likely to reassure investors and other stakeholders about the absence of immediate financial or operational risk from this tax dispute.

The disclosure underscores the company’s adherence to SEBI’s listing regulations by promptly informing exchanges of material tax-related developments, maintaining transparency in its regulatory interactions. For shareholders, the clarification that the demand stems from a computation error rather than any income discrepancy, and that management expects full rectification, suggests limited long-term impact on earnings or cash flows barring an unexpected outcome in the rectification process.
