Determination of ALP of an international transaction

January 4, 2010 1131 Views 0 comment Print

If we agree with this submission of the Id. A.R that as the ultimate tax liability of the assessee together with its AE does not vary even if the lower price is charged inter se, and hence the exercise done by the TPO be held as fruitless, then the provisions of section 92 to 92F would become redundant. Since the provisions require the determination of the ALP in an international transaction between the associated enterprises, it is imperative to undergo this exercise so as to prevent any loss to the coffers of India kitty. We therefore, reject this submission made on behalf of the assessee as devoid of any merit.

In penalty proceedings, assessee can always show that finding recorded in quantum proceedings is neither reliable nor sufficient to impose penalty

On careful consideration of relevant facts, I am of the view that important fact stated by the assessee in his reply to penalty notice has not been considered in accordance with law. The revenue authority and the Tribunal in the quantum proceedings proceeded mainly on a presumption that the payment was made through account payee cheque, decided the issue against the assessee and the expenditure claimed was disallowed and added to the income of the assessee.

In the said reply it was emphasized t

Expenditure claimed as revenue in nature is allowable U/s. 37(1) not U/s. 35AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961

Since in the case under consideration, the expenditure claimed by the assessee is revenue in nature, therefore, the same is allowable u/s 37(1) of the Act and not u/s 35AB of the Act. The above view is supported by the fact that the Finance (No.2) Act, 1998 introduced from the asst. yr. 1999- 2000 on wards,

Live payment nexus in routing of income between employer and expatriate personnel must be established so as to attract section 163(1)(c) of Income tax Act, 1961

In view of the above, the grievance of Pride Foramer against being treated as an agent of the expatriate personnel under section 163 of the Act is found to be of merit and it is accepted as such.

Section 92 of Income Tax Act,1961 not applicable to advertisement expenditure incurred by assessee, a wholly owned subsidiary of an American restaurant company in India

In fact, the assessee has borne part of the advertisement expenditure which was to be borne in full by the Indian franchises. Hence, we are of the considered opinion that section 92 is not applicable with regard to the advertisement expenditure.

The assessing authority cannot act on the dictates of the Commissioner to reopen the concluded assessment

Whether, the Tribunal was correct in holding that the Assessing officer had to record his reasons and based on those reasons form his opinion that the income has escaped assessment by relying on two judgments of this Hon’ble Court in 133 JTJ? 199 and 155 ITR 748 before reopening assessments when Section 147
