The fact of approval of the payment by the RBI has been succinctly recorded by the TPO in his order as well. He still chose to propose adjustment in respect of full payment. In our considered opinion, when the rate of royalty payment and fee for drawings etc. has been approved or deemed to have been approved by the RBI, then such payment has to be considered at ALP.
LETTER [F.NO. 225/65/2013/ITA-II], DATED 11-4-2013 I am directed to draw your kind attention towards Board’s decision to review the Quality of assessments completed by the Assessing Officers during financial year 2012-13 in each CCIT/DGIT charge. The same finds mention in clause 2(k) of “Guidelines for Scrutiny Selection” [File No. 225/97/2012/ITA-II] for Financial Year 2012-13, dated 23-8-2012 read with clarification dated 20-9-2012.
We found that assessee’s case is squarely covered by the decision of Mumbai Bench in the case of B.D. Leasing and Finance Limited, (2013) 49(II) ITCL 148, wherein it was held that penalty u/s 271B for non-filing of tax audit report cannot be levied in view of the CBDT Circular No.9/2006 dated 10.10.2006, which provided that in case of electronic filing of return, tax audit report need not to be filed alongwith return.
Clause 4 of the agreement indicates that the Smt Shah surrendered the tenancy rights along with the property to the assessee. If that is true, where is the need for Smt Shah to be the signatory to the agreement in giving the property on monthly rent to the new tenants and why should there be a tripartite agreement? Letting off the impugned property becomes the matter for settlement between the landlord and the new tenant as per the terms and conditions of the land lord, which is not the case here.
In the books of account, assessee had made provision for doubtful debts for this amount. The matter is sub-judice before court or arbitration. This shows that the amount was not ascertained. It remained contingent at the relevant time. Moreover, it had been gone against assessee due to amendment in Act. The amendment made by inserting clause (i) in Explanation 1 to section 115JB by the Finance Act, 2009 with retrospective effect 1.4.2001, the amount set aside and provision for diminution in the value of an asset is to be added to arrive at the book profit under section 115JB of the Act. This empowers the Assessing Officer to add to income any amount debited in profit & loss account for provision of bad and doubtful debts.
There can be no concealment or non-disclosure, as the assessee had made a complete disclosure in the IT return and offered the surrendered amount for the purposes of tax and therefore no penalty under s. 271(1)(c) could be levied. The words ‘in the course of any proceedings under this Act’ in Sec. 271(1)(c ) of the Act are prefaced by the satisfaction of the AO or the CIT(A).
Since the entire services were rendered outside India having nothing to do with the permanent establishment, there can be no taxability of this amount in India. Further in para (12) it has been held that the offshore services are inextricably linked to the supply of goods, so it must be considered in the same manner.
the commission or brokerage definition does not include transactions in securities. There is no doubt that Mutual Funds are categorised as securities on which there is no objection from the Revenue either before the A.O. or before the CIT(A). In fact the CIT(A) also gives a finding that the A.O. has not disputed that units of Mutual Funds are securities as per Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. Assessee is in the business of Mutual Funds distribution and investment agent.
The words used in Article 12(1) was ‘paid to a resident of other contracting state’. The term royalties also means “payment of any kind received”. Since the word used in the DTAA is ‘paid’ or ‘received’, assessee’s contention that amounts cannot be taxed on accrual basis is correct. This interpretation is also supported by the decision of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of DIT (IT) v. Siemens Aktiengesellschaft ITA no 124 of 2010 dt.22.10.12 wherein the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on a question as follows:
Mr. Vimal Gupta, Advocate for appellant revenue contends that the amount of Rs. 8.65 lacs being the difference between Rs. 80.00 lacs shown in the seized document and Rs. 71.35 lacs shown in the document evidencing to purchase of Candy House property represents unexplained cash paid by the respondent for purchase of the Candy House and has to be added as her undisclosed income. It is his submission that it was for the respondent to discharge the onus on her to explain the noting found during the search of the premises which indicated Rs. 80.00 lacs as the value of the Candy House property. In view of the failure of the respondent to discharge the burden an amount of Rs. 8.65 lacs has to be added as undisclosed income of the respondent Mr. Subhash Shetty learned counsel for the respondent supports the order.
