Assessee Entitled To Raise Claim For Deduction Even Outside Return of Income

July 4, 2012 5354 Views 0 comment Print

It is clear to us that the Supreme Court did not hold anything contrary to what was held in the previous judgments to the effect that even if a claim is not made before the assessing officer, it can be made before the appellate authorities. The jurisdiction of the appellate authorities to entertain such a claim has not been negated by the Supreme Court in this judgment. In fact, the Supreme Court made it clear that the issue in the case was limited to the power of the assessing authority and that the judgment does not impinge on the power of the Tribunal under section 254.

No disallowance for non-deduction of TDS on reimbursement of Expenses

July 4, 2012 4981 Views 0 comment Print

Mitra Logistic Pvt. Ltd. V. ITO – There is no dispute about the fundamental posit ion that as long as the payments are for reimbursements, and not expenditure, the tax deduct ion obligations do not come into play and accordingly, disallowance u/s. 40(a)(i ) cannot be made either. In support of this proposition, our attention is invited to a coordinate bench decision in the case of Satyendra Jhunjhunwalla –vs. – ITO (ITA No. 1988/Kol. /2009; order dated 11.11.2011). He, however, fairly submits that as this aspect of the matter, i.e. payment being in the nature of reimbursement , has not been examined by the authorities below, the matter can be restored to the file of the Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication in the light of the above principle.

Sec. 115JB – Interest capitalised cannot be added to book profit

July 3, 2012 1619 Views 0 comment Print

The Assessing Officer is not competent to make addition to the book profit for amount of interest, as the net profit had already been computed as per provisions of the Companies Act. The said amount does not fall under section 115JB(2) and Explanation 1 thereunder. Therefore, the appeal of the revenue on the said issue was liable to be dismissed.

Admitting additional evidence without calling for remand report violates Rule 46A

July 3, 2012 2006 Views 0 comment Print

We find that certain fresh documents have been produced before CIT(A) and CIT(A) without calling for remand report or confronting such material to the Assessing Officer has passed the impugned order in a very precise manner to delete the impugned addition which is not justified. So, action of the CIT(A) is not only violative of Rule 46A of the I.T. Rules, but also against the natural justice because sufficient and cogent reasons have not been given in this case.

July 3, 2012 5147 Views 0 comment Print

Having regard to the nature of the asset, if the AO is of the opinion, that valuation of the capital asset is required, but such reference can be made only to ascertain the fair market value, therefore, the applicability of section 55A(b)(ii) is also limited one. We have read section 50C alongwith these connected sections and then arrived at a conclusion that the AO is empowered to refer for valuation of a capital asset under specific circumstances as prescribed under this section provision of section 50C where he has found that the consideration received is less than the stamp duty.
