Once the registration has been granted under section 12AA of the Act, the exemption under Section 11 cannot be withdrawn unless there is violation of provisions of Section 13 of the Act or the registration under Section 12AA(3) of the Act is cancelled. The Tribunal held that the decision of this Court in the matter of CIT v. Pruthivi Trust [1980] 124 ITR 488 is distinguishable on facts as the Trust in that case was carrying out profit making activity without any authorisation in the Trust Deed.

TDS liability U/s. 194I do not arise in absence of existence of landlord-tenant relationship

April 26, 2013 4706 Views 0 comment Print

The revenue have not placed any material suggesting that the assessee had any interest either as a lessee or sub-lessee or a tenant in any of the aforesaid 13 premises. The fact that the assessee was allowed use of premises by IISPL in terms of agreement dated 1-12-2008, cannot lead to the conclusion that the assessee had any interest as a lessee, sub-lessee or tenant over the various premises. The right to use any land or building necessarily implies that the assessee must have some interest in the immovable property as a tenant.

Transfer Pricing – If more than one price is determined by the most appropriate method, the ALP has to be the arithmetical mean of such prices

April 26, 2013 2749 Views 0 comment Print

In this case Tribunal was wrong in holding that if one profit level indicator of a comparable, out of a set of comparables, is lower than the profit level indicator of the taxpayer, then the transaction reported by the taxpayer is at an arm’s length price. The proviso to section 92C(2) is explicit that where more than one price is determined by most appropriate method, the arm’s length price shall be taken to be the arithmetical mean of such prices. To this extent the appeal is allowed. However, as pointed out above, if this principle is applied to the comparables suggested by the assessee (which have not been rejected by the Transfer Pricing Officer), the arm’s length price suggested by the assessee would yet be acceptable in law. There shall be no orders as to costs.

Expenditure on registration of lease agreement is allowable as revenue expenditure

April 25, 2013 8826 Views 1 comment Print

It is not disputed by revenue that the said lease agreement dt.29.6.2006 entered into by the assessee give rise to a lease in favour of the assessee and no other legal rights in the hospital building are granted to the assessee. As such, the view of the Assessing Officer that the said lease agreement brings into existence an asset of enduring nature is, in our opinion, misplaced. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Empire Jute Co. Ltd. v. CIT [1980] 124 ITR 1 has laid down certain guidelines to determine whether, in a given case, the expenditure incurred is in the nature of revenue or capital expenditure.
