Microsoft justified in Different pricing for different licenses – CAT

February 25, 2013 864 Views 0 comment Print

There was nothing to show that unfair pricing was done by Microsoft in selling identical licence at different prices. No evidence was brought. The respondent was not tying its OEM with new computers. The purchase of personal computer has the choice to have the programme of Microsoft Office or Words getting installed in its computer if he so chooses. This cannot be, therefore, an example of tying up. There was no compulsion on the appellant to purchase Microsoft software to purchase the computers only as the OEM licensee was free to sell their product, i.e., personal computer even without the warranty that would clearly end the argument about the tying up.

Delay cannot be condoned for negligence by senior manager despite reminder by juniors

It is evident from the above account of the conduct of the two officials that they chose not to take proper steps at appropriate stage for filing the appeal even though they knew that it was their duty to do so. We have also noted that Mr. Prasad is totally remorseless in his affidavit. If the company loses this case it is because of his inaction. We nave already borne on record that we are not satisfied with the explanation offered in the COD application and the accompanying affidavits. Heavy delay of the appeal cannot be said to have been satisfactorily explained, particularly the delay from the first week of April 2012. The COD application is dismissed.

Section 80HH and 80-IA deductions on income having direct nexus to industrial undertaking

February 25, 2013 3583 Views 0 comment Print

While working out the profits and gains which qualify for deduction under Section 80HH, one has to necessarily restrict the income which is derived from the industrial undertaking and nothing beyond. Thus, for the purpose of Section 80HH, the income of that industrial undertaking which got into the reckoning of the book profit for the purposes of Section 32AB has to be identified and that alone would be included in the profits and gains of the industrial undertaking for the purpose of working out the relief under Chapter VIA.

For S. 80IA Rate at which consumers gets electricity is market rate of the same

February 25, 2013 2571 Views 0 comment Print

We observe that the assessee can either captively consume the electricity generated or can sell the same to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board at Rs. 2.70 per unit. The assessee is refrained from directly selling generated electricity to the consumers. The assessee has no other option but to sell the electricity generated to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board at the predetermined rates.

Reopening based on mere report of DVO is invalid, illegal and void-ab-initio

February 25, 2013 1738 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case the Tribunal found that the DVO’s report is based on his opinion, and not on any material, which could form the basis of reopening of the cases, and thus it can at best be treated as an information, which will not be sufficient material for recording ‘reason to believe’ to proceed in the matter. The opinion of the DVO, as to what would be reasonable percentage of architects fees and the supervision charges by the Directors, would not constitute tangible material for exercising powers of reopening the assessment.

Rejection of Application for Registration as CRA justified if CA certificate of net worth attached is not as per applicable law

February 25, 2013 756 Views 0 comment Print

As CA certificate did not conform to the provisions contained in the regulations which requires that the certificate of the Chartered Accountant should be in confirmation of the Audited Accounts of the promoters/applicant for the five years preceding the date of the application. We are unable to approve the observations made by SAT that “neither the regulations nor the eligibility criteria in Form A requires the applicant to produce the annual accounts of the promoter.”

Every instance of addition does not ipso facto led to a conclusion that assessee is guilty of concealment

February 25, 2013 726 Views 0 comment Print

The above factual matrix of the case nowhere proves that the assessee had either concealed the income or furnished any inaccurate particulars. The very fact that it had duly mentioned the consideration in the year of receipt itself proves its bona fides. In this regard, we fortify our opinion from the hon’ble Bombay High Court judgment in the case of Metal Rolling Works Ltd. (supra).

Transfer pricing –Comparable cannot be selected if risk assumed and capital employed in international transactions are unmatched

February 25, 2013 765 Views 0 comment Print

Admittedly the assessee is involved in the manufacturing activity also and marketing its own products i.e. iron powder. Apart from that, the assessee is importing iron product and marketing the same that is a trading activity. Nothing has been brought out on record by the DRP as well as the TPO that the assessee has to incur cost for the sales achieved by the parent company as in the case of its own marketing.
