We have heard both the sides in detail. Thrust given by the C1T(A) on the mens rea reflected in the conduct of the assessee does not survive with usual force, since the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India & Others Vs. Dharmendra Textiles Processors & Ors., 306 1TR 277.
In this view of the matter, we hold that the payment of royalty made by the assessee is out side the purview of section 40(a) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and therefore, no TDS is required to be made from such royalty payment. Accordingly, we set aside the order of the CIT(A) and direct the Assessing Officer to delete the disallowance.
In Y. Venugopala Reddy Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax and another, (2003) 263 ITR 30, the Karnataka High Court interpreted the words ‘notwithstanding’ used in Section 88 of KVSS and has held that a matter which has already been settled cannot be reopened under the scheme and the benefit under the scheme should not be extended to an assessee even with regard to the admitted income.
The consequence of non-production of certified copy will naturally lead to dis allowance of claims of deduction toward? payment of interest, remuneration, bonus etc. paid to partner by the firm by virtue of Section 185 of the Act. We, therefore, hold that the production of certified copy of instrument of partnership is mandatory for claiming assessment in the status of a – firm for any -assessment year commencing from 1993-94 on wards irrespective of whether such assesses was assessed as a registered firm up to 1993-94. In principle, we therefore, uphold the findings of the Tribunal.
The assessee was engaged in the business of real estate development. It held land as stock in trade with a book value of Rs. 4.4 crs. The said land was introduced at its market value of Rs. 11.50 crs as capital contribution into a new firm. The surplus of Rs. 6.01 crore was credited to the profit and loss account. Relying on Hind Construction 83 ITR 211 (SC), it was claimed that the surplus of Rs. 6.01 crs was not liable to tax as the introduction of an asset into a partnership was not a sale.
Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has directed the Income Tax Department to make all efforts to achieve the revised direct tax target of Rs.4 lakh crores. Addressing the All India Conference on Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) here today, Shri Mukherjee congratulated the department on reaching tax collection figure of Rs.2.50 lakh crore by December 2009 showing a growth rate of around 8.5%.
The government will allow companies to adjust the fringe benefit tax (FBT) paid by them against the advance tax due in the March quarter, reducing the hazard of claiming a refund and slightly improving profits at a time of rising costs, said an income-tax department official. “The Central Board of Direct Taxes has taken an in-principle decision to allow corporates to adjust FBT paid in the first quarter against their advance tax,” he said.
Recently ITAT Mumbai in the case of Mrs. Hami Aspi Balsara (Taxpayer) v ACIT. [2009-TIOL-789-ITAT-MUM] held that where a transfer of shares is made conditional upon fulfillment of certain covenants by the parties, the transfer can be regarded as complete only upon the fulfillment of such covenants.
The Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai in the case of Mrs. Bakhtawar B Dubash v. DCIT, Mumbai (ITA No. 403 1/Mum/03), Mrs. Sudha D Dubash v. DCIT, Mumbai ( ITA No. 4032/Mum/03) has held that an amount disallowed in the hands of the Company for corporate tax purposes, should not be taxed again in the hands of its Director as the same amount cannot be taxed twice.
This is a very interesting ruling where the difference between the goodwill and the trade mark has been brought out clearly. The Tribunal has observed that the trademark can be transferred separately, either with or without the goodwill of the business whereas goodwill cannot be sold without the business itself and therefore transfer of trademark cannot be regarded as transfer of goodwill.
