Reply to "On the premise or on the premises"

@Tony C posted:
Q1: Should I use on the premise or on the premises for the sentence below?
Q2: What is the distinction between on the premise and on the basis, is it difference in meaning or it can be used interchangeably?
Q3: Should I use for the 2020 income year or in the 2020 income year?
Example: We are not satisfied with the tax return completed by you for the 2020 income year, on the premise that no expenditure has been incurred by you, but you reported an expense of $5K.

Hi, Tony—I agree with what BE about Q3, but I recommend changing "on the premise that" to "because," "for the reason that," or "the reason being that."
