The Tonnage Tax Scheme introduced vide Finance Act 2005 provides for taxation of income of a shipping company on presumptive basis. Under this scheme, the operating profit of a shipping company is determined on the basis of tonnage capacity of its ships.
The Union Finance Minister ShriPranab Mukherjee today expressed firm commitment to enact the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) Bill at the earliest, after expeditious examination of the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee. The Bill was introduced in Parliament in August 2010, and was to come into force from April 1 this year. However, the timeline could not be adhered to as the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the matter was received only on March 9 this year.
The assessee was in the business of offset printing and typesetting. It admittedly had converted this land and factory building into stock-in-trade. The Minutes of the assessee-company did the conversion of the land and factory building into stock-in-trade and the business assets of the assessee no more survived as the business asset eligible for depreciation. Once this happens, the business of the assessee would be deemed to have been discontinued.
It is not in dispute that there were cash deposits of the equivalent amounts in the bank accounts of the creditors just before advancing loan to the assessee or on the date of issuing cheques to the assessee. In the case of the creditor, ‘RS’, his bank statement is filed in which Rs. 2,50,000 has been deposited, but neither it is mentioned that it was cash nor it is mentioned how the amount similar to the credit was credited in his bank account.
Although the Committee had suggested raising the tax exemption limit to Rs 3 lakh, it is unlikely that Mukherjee will agree to it in view of the need to contain fiscal deficit. With limited space for give aways, the Budget is likely to balance populism with some tough measures to check tax evasion and generation of black money.
CIT v. Bovis Lend Lease (India) (P.) Ltd. In the instant case, it is the consistent stand of both the assessee and LLAH that the consideration paid under the agreement is by way of reimbursement of actual expanses. Therefore, even when a credit entry was made in the accounts as the assessee was treating it only as a reimbursement of actual expenses, he was under no obligation to deduct tax from the said amount as the said amount did not represent income. When LLAH approached the Assessing Officer and made the aforesaid representation, a certificate under Section 197(1) came to be issued. On the face of the certificate issued under Section 1971(1) being made available to the assesses by LLAH, the assessee could not have deducted tax at source. Therefore, he cannot be treated as a defaulter under law. He is not an assessee in default as understood under Section 201 of the Act.
In a lease transaction also there can be only one owner of the asset, that is, either the lessor or lessee and not both of them or either of them at their discretion. Whereas in the case of operating lease, it is the lessor who is the real owner of the asset, but in case of finance lease, it is the lessee who is to be regarded as the real owner of the asset. Ex consequenti only the lessor can claim depreciation in case of an operating lease and the lessee in a case of finance lease. There is no question of deciding between the lessor and the lessee, as to who should be conferred the benefit of depreciation allowance. Adverting to the facts of the instant case, it can be seen that it is a case of finance lease agreement. The only and the inescapable conclusion which in our considered opinion follows is that the real owner of the leased property is Indo Gulf Fertilizer & Chemical Corporation Limited and not the assessee. We, therefore, decline to grant any depreciation to the assessee-lessor. However the lessee, if so advised, may take recourse to the legal remedy if any, for the grant of depreciation.
