Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act,1961 Reason for introducing new scheme for presumptive taxation – 1. There has been a substantial increase in small businesses with the growth of transport and communication and general growth of the economy. A large number of businesses and service providers in rural and urban areas who earn substantial income are outside the tax‐net.
The reasoning of the Tribunal is premised upon the fact that capital assets were transferred on a particular date the assessee passed on the execution of the agreement. There is no material on the record or in the agreement suggesting that even if the entire consideration or part is not paid the title to the shares will revert to the seller. In that sense the controlling expression of ‘transfer’ in the instant case is conclusive as to the true nature of the transaction.
Section 68 of the Act – substantive provisions (post amendment by Finance Act 2012) – Where any sum is found credited in the books of an assessee maintained for any previous year, and the assessee offers no explanation about the nature and source thereof or the explanation offered by him is not, in the opinion of the Assessing Officer, satisfactory, the sum so credited may be charged to income-tax as the income of the assessee of that previous year.
The assessee has contended that the amount debited by the assessee is as per an independent enquiry carried out by M/s Institute of Oil and Gas Production Technology and therefore, it cannot be held as unascertained liability. The Assessing Officer did not accept the explanation of the assessee and added this amount for the purpose of computing the book profit.
So far as the first difference of age and formation is concerned, there is no merit in the contention of the assessee, as the age and formation of the company cannot be the criteria for rejecting the company for comparability analysis. If that is the criteria, then most of the companies which have been included by the assessee are also substantially old companies. The age and formation of the company cannot be the criteria or a relevant factor for excluding or rejecting the company for comparability analysis. This reason based on age and formation is not accepted.
The company-in-liquidation admittedly does not own the property. The Court cannot force respondent either to sell or let it out to ‘W’. Interim arrangement was made at the stage of admission of appeal considering the balance of convenience and inconvenience. Such interim arrangement could not be made permanent. Court cannot create tenancy without the consent of the landlord. In short, tenancy is a contract between landlord and tenant.
The Government had constituted an Expert Committee on General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) to undertake stakeholder consultations and finalise the GAAR guidelines as well as a roadmap for implementation.
In the present case, if the Assessing Officer had returned a finding that the premises were to be valued at market value (of the rental), in case it increased as a result of the renovations, the only prescribed mode was to apply the method indicated by Rule 3 (a) (iii) of the Valuation Rules. The AO could not have included the entire expenses, and spread it over a period of five years, for the purpose of saying that the whole of such expense constituted a perquisite.
In the instant case, no where the assessee-firm is considered as the tenant. In the partnership deed dated 4-4-1990 also, it is stated that all rights over trade name, goodwill license and permits shall belong to the partners. It is the legal heirs of ‘A’ and ‘V’, who have continued to hold the tenancy rights and have used the name of the business only for the sake of convenience, which had been continuance from the pre-partition days.
In the instant case, the fact of purchase of land, commencing of the construction of residential house on the said land and the sale of land is not in dispute. The only dispute is whether the land was an ‘asset’ within the meaning of section 2(ea) and, therefore, liable to wealth-tax or the land along with the superstructure can be considered as ‘residential house’ and, therefore, can be considered to be an exempted asset under section 5(vi).
