Taxation of individuals by a state works on a deeply embedded principle of giving back to the state for the services provided by the state such as good governance, welfare schemes, defense and others which are required for a state for maintenance and expansion. This principle although looks simple and efficient, requires the state to answer the basic question : How to Decide WHO to tax ?

February 13, 2022 897 Views 0 comment Print

We have carefully perused the orders of the authorities below. We find that the interest levied u/s 234B of the Act was deleted by the DRP relying upon the decision of the Hon’ble Jurisdictional High Court of Delhi in the case of GE Packaged Power 373 ITR 65 in which the Hon’ble High Court followed the decision in the case of Agence France Press 2015-TII-14-HC-DEL-Intl. From the scrutiny report, on DRP’s directions, the AO has accepted the deletion. But since the matter is subjudice before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, these appeals have been preferred.

February 13, 2022 1728 Views 0 comment Print

We find that the provisions of section 56(2)(viib) of the Act are applicable only for consideration for issue of shares received by a company from any person who is a resident. Admittedly, the monies have been received in the instant case by the assessee company from a non-resident. Hence the provisions of section 56(2)(viib) of the Act are also not applicable in the instant case.
