The Assessing Officer has the power under Section 153A to make assessment for all the six years and compute the total income of the assessee, including the undisclosed income, notwithstanding that the assessee filed returns before the date of search which stood processed under Section 143(1)(a). The other reason given by the Tribunal in the same paragraph of its order that no material was found during the search is factually unsustainable since the entire case and arguments before the departmental authorities as well as the Tribunal had proceeded on the basis that the document embodying the transaction with Mohini Sharma was recovered from the assessee.
Tribunal held that the payment made by assessee to a foreign company for the services rendered by it for uploading and display of the banner advertisement on its portal was in the nature of business profit and not royalty and such payment was not chargeable to tax in India as the recipient has no PE in India and, therefore, assessee was not liable to deduct tax at source from the payment for such services and the same cannot be disallowed by invoking the provisions of section 40(a)(i) for non-deduction of tax.

The contention which has been made is that the expenses incurred by the assessee in respect of income liable to tax at special rate u/s 115A should not be allowed as deduction against the income chargeable to tax at normal rate.

Admitting while not accepting that the State of Maharashtra can levy tax on such a transaction, will our members get the credit of input tax paid while effecting purchases of materials like cement, iron 86 steel etc. required to be used in the Construction project. The members would pay the tax under the MVAT Act as the applicable rate of 4% or 12.5% depending on the material required to be used?
The provisions of TDS were introduced in the statute so that tax is collected by Revenue at source on certain types of income. In other words, it is the income which determines the extent or amount of tax to be deducted at source. Income sought to be taxed by taxing statutes is always the real income. In the instant case, it is clear that the lease rent for the relevant period was fixed at Rs. 6 Crores per annum.
