Property used for business cannot be treated as vacant for section 23

December 5, 2019 4722 Views 0 comment Print

We are of the view that the company having occupied the property for its own purposes, no notional rent can be added. It may be germane to mention here that this is the only property owned and occupied by the assessee as its registered office. It is not the case of the AO that the assessee company was having some other premises to have its office. A company having been incorporated is legally required to have its registered office irrespective of the fact whether during the year it has carried on any activity or not.

TDR is a capital asset as inextricably linked with immovable property

December 4, 2019 8250 Views 0 comment Print

TDR is a capital asset, because it is inextricably linked with immovable property and also flows from transfer of immovable property. When, TDR is considered to be an immovable property/assets within the meaning of section 2(14) of the I.T.Act, then any right in such TDR is also needs to be considered as a asset within the meaning of section 2(14) of the I.T.Act, 1961. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the Ld. CIT(A) was erred in considering surplus from transfer of TDR under the head speculative business profits.
