Loss of Eligible Business Unit u/s. 80IB(10) can be set off against other business income

April 5, 2013 4213 Views 0 comment Print

That apart, the learned counsel for the assessee has rightly contended that the provisions of section 80IA(5) of the Act applies in computing the profits of an eligible business for the purposes of working out the quantum of deduction for the initial assessment year and for every subsequent year thereafter. The incentive deductions both under section 80 IA and 80 IB of the Act have the concept of initial assessment year in respect of almost all eligible business.

TPO to furnish Assessee Info not available in Public domain on which he relied in selecting comparables

April 5, 2013 930 Views 0 comment Print

The Ld. CIT DR made efforts to support the order of TPO on obtaining information. While agreeing with his arguments on power of AO/TPO in obtaining information u/s 133(6), on which there is no dispute, what is objected to by assessee is not providing such information to it.

Objection to reassessment after silent participation in proceedings is not valid

April 4, 2013 1702 Views 0 comment Print

The argument of the learned counsel for the respondent-assessee that merely participation of the assessee will not validate the reassessment proceeding if the notice is invalid, is of no help, in view of the fact that the question of validity of notice under Section 147 of the Act is not in issue. The only defect which could be pointed out is that the assessment year was not mentioned in the reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer.

No Disallowance U/s. 14A if Interest Free Fund exceeds fund Invested in Exempted Income Investments

April 3, 2013 2249 Views 0 comment Print

From the above portion, we noticed that the Tribunal has bifurcated the expenditure in two parts – first related to investment of Rs. 5907.18 lakhs in foreign subsidiaries, it was held that the dividend income from such subsidiaries is taxable in India and that therefore, Section 14A would have no applicability. The remaining amount pertain to investment of Rs. 38 Crores [rounded off] made in Indian subsidiaries. In this respect, the Tribunal noted that the assessee had to its disposal, own interest free funds many times over the investment in question. As per the balance sheet as on 31st March 2005, the assessee had interest free fund of Rs. 929.57 Crores.

No Penalty if Assessee voluntarily & bona fidely declare its income

April 3, 2013 4444 Views 0 comment Print

Once in a particular trust, some default came to the notice of a trustee managing its affairs and the same trustee is also managing the affairs of other trust then, if the trustee of the second trust voluntarily comes forward before the department and discloses material facts, which have been duly accepted by the department, then it cannot be said that assessee’s conduct was not bona fide or voluntary. It can be said to be a case of concealment only when income comes to the notice of assessee but he still withholds the same from disclosing to the department.

Addition based on mere Low GP Ratio not justified

April 3, 2013 9803 Views 0 comment Print

It is well-settled law that merely on the ground of low gross profit ratio, the addition to the assessee’s returned income cannot be made. Even if, the assessee’s profit and loss account is discarded by the Assessing Officer, it has to be examined whether the Assessing Officer adopted the rational basis for making the addition. In the present case, we find that the Assessing Officer merely referred to the discount of 10 per cent. offered by retailers on the printed price but did not demonstrate as to how that affected the gross profit declared by the assessee. He had not brought on record any comparable case, wherein, the net profit declared by a tax payer in the similar business, was higher, than the one declared by the assessee.

No Penalty on additions made on estimation basis without evidencing concealment of income

April 2, 2013 6170 Views 0 comment Print

Assessing Officer has made all additions, disallowances, treating the cash credits/foreign receipts as well as the assessee’s declared agricultural income merely on estimate and guess work basis without bringing on record any positive and concrete evidence to be applied against the assessee. We also find that the Assessing Officer has not quoted any comparable case in this line of business, which has shown better gross profit than that shown by the assessee in the present assessment year.
