CHAPTER VII.
Examiner to make assessments
ASSESSMENTS.
44. (1) Every person who is in the opinion of an Examiner chargeable with tax under this Ordinance shall be assessed by him as soon as may be after the expiration of the time limited by the notice requiring him to furnish a return under section 36 (1):
Provided that the Examiner may assess any person at any time if he is of opinion that such person is about to leave the Colony; or that for any other reason it is expedient to do so.
(2) Where a person has furnished a return of income liable to assessment the Examiner may either-
(a) accept the return and make an assessment accord- ingly; or
(b) if he does not accept the return, estimate the amount of the assessable income of such person and assess him accordingly :
Provided that if the Examiner accepts the return as sub- stantially correct, but considers it necessary to make further inquiries on any matter, he may make immediately a pro- visional assessment in the amount of the return which until amended shall be a valid assessment for all purposes.
(3) Where a person has not furnished a return and the Examiner is of the opinion that such person is chargeable with tax, he may estimate the amount of the assessable income of such person and assess him accordingly, but such assess- ment shall not affect the liability of such person to a penalty by reason of his failure or neglect to deliver a return.
