The claim of the assessee of having converted the capital asset of land into stock in trade for the purpose of his business as envisaged in section 45(2) was not accepted by the Assessing Officer as well as by the Commissioner (Appeals) mainly for the reason that there was no business of real estate development actually commenced or carried on by the assessee and it was a case of transfer of land as capital asset simpliciter as per the Development Agreement.
On perusal of the material on record, it is found that the assessee first of all seeks to get the benefit under the provisions of Indo UAE DTAA Treaty on the ground that payees were residents of UAE as per article 4(1). The other limb of its case is that the payment of fees for registration of trademark to Advocates in Emirates were not in the nature of fees for technical services in view of the section 9(1)(vii) but was purely for professional services.
Thus, as per the decision of Hon’ble Apex Court, for claiming the deduction of bad debts, the assessee need not prove that the debt has actually become bad. Mere writing off in the books of account is enough.
The contention of the assessee that Audit Reports and minutes of meeting of Board of Directors were enough to prove the genuineness of the transactions in the case under consideration was unacceptable. There is no doubt that Tax Audit Report is an important document, but it cannot take place of the evidence required for claiming a deduction.
Scientific research in the context of the deduction allowable under section 35(1) of the Act would include wide variety of activities. It can also be appreciated that every scientific research need not necessarily result into the ultimate goal with which it may have been undertaken. Often times in the field of research and invention, the efforts undertaken may or may not yield fruitful results.
It is evident from the record that the assessee has earned dividend mainly from shares of a and ‘C’ Ltd. which was acquired through amalgamation of two companies. Further, it is also noticed that most of the expenses are directly attributable to assessee’s business.
TRU has issued a Circular No. 164/15/2012-ST dated August 28, 2012 clarifying certain issues in relation to levy of service tax on certain vocational education/training/ skill development courses (VEC) offered by the Government (Central Government or State Government) or local authority themselves or by an entity independently established by the Government under the law, as a society or any other similar body.
The Income Tax Department is observing the first fortnight of September, 2012 starting from 03/09/2012 to 14/09/2012 as “Demand Management Fortnight”. In this regard a single window grievance cell has been set up to receive, acknowledge, and monitor grievance petitions pertaining to demand adjustment by CPC Bangalore for entire CCIT (CCA) Delhi Region. All taxpayers having a grievance pertaining to incorrect arrears demand communicated / adjusted by CPC, Bangalore are required to contact to the following officer.
On facts, we find that the assessee ought to have maintained a separate account in respect of raw material which it had sold during the assessment year. If the assessee had maintained a separate account, then, in that event, a clear picture would have emerged which would have indicated the income accrued from the manufacturing activity and the income accrued on the sale of raw material.
Where the assessee has maintained the Attendance Register of labourers shown the ledger account of labour charges and office expenses, which were all duly produced before the AO and also placed before us which contained the details of wages paid to and accepted by the labourers, no defect in the same has been pointed by the revenue. The action to make the ad hoc disallowance @5% qua the same and 10% in the case of office expenses on the reasoning that to curb the possibility of revenue leakage and seems excessive respectively is arbitrary which cannot be supported in law.
