Gift without love and affection between donor & donee not genuine

June 23, 2012 2519 Views 0 comment Print

Without any motive it is quite unnatural that any individual would extend the monetary benefit to any person in this day to day world. The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Rajeev Tandon v. ACIT (supra) has observed that in such circumstances the taxation authorities were entitled to look into the surrounding circumstances.

Trust running classes for & under authority of University is not coaching centre

June 23, 2012 3172 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee here, in our opinion, did fall within the concept of rendering a formal education and could not be equated with a coaching institute. We are, therefore, of the opinion that assessee could not have been denied the eligible exemption under Sections 11 and 12 of the Act for a reason that it was not doing charitable activity as defined under Section 2(15) of the Act.

Amendments to section 44BB & 44DA are prospective and applies from A.Y. 2011-12

June 23, 2012 5914 Views 0 comment Print

It has further been the contention of the revenue that the amendments vide Finance Act 2010, inserting mutually exclusionary clauses in s. 44BB and s.44DA are clarificatory, and hence are retrospective in operation, w.e.f. AY 2004-05. We find that this contention is not at all correct as the said provision of the Act cannot be said to be clarificatory and hence retrospective in operation. In this regard in the case of CGG Veritas Services SA (supra) comes to the rescue of the assessee. Furthermore, the Jurisdictional High Court in the case of the assessee itself in Schlumberger Asia Services Ltd. (supra) wherein it has been held that the amendment by Finance Act, 2010, excluding the application of Section 44BB in cases where Section 44DA applies, is prospective and applies from assessment year 2011-12.

S. 194J Maintenance of hospital equipments is ‘professional service’

June 22, 2012 3544 Views 0 comment Print

The operation theatre and surgical are highly technical equipments for the operation of the persons. Therefore, they cannot be maintained in a routine or normal manner, but a technical person is required for maintenance of such equipments. Similar is the case with RO system, CT scan machine, MRI machine, lift and sterlisation and medical equipments. Therefore, these contracts cannot be the contracts in a routine or normal manner but for which technical service has been rendered and provisions of section 194J, read with Explanation 2 to section 9(1)(vii) are attracted.

The appellant had raised interest bearing loan from Reliance Capital Ltd. The said Loan had been utilized by the appellant for the purchase of shares and also for making capital contribution to M/s Shreenath Enterprises in which the appellant was a partner. Thus, to the extent the interest bearing loan has been used for making contribution, there is a direct nexus between the loan obtained from Reliance Capital Ltd. and contribution made to the partnership firm.

Gross Amount’ of royalty under Indo-USA DTAA includes tax withheld

June 22, 2012 1532 Views 0 comment Print

It was held that the ‘gross amount’ royalty under the India-US DTAA includes not only the actual payment by way of royalty but also the tax withheld by the payer which is borne by him and paid to Central Government on behalf of the payee as agreed between the parties. In short, the ITAT held that the royalty has to be paid on the grossed up amount. ITAT Delhi also held that royalty is taxable on receipt basis irrespective of the system of accounting adopted by the parties.

Commission on sales is to be allowed in year of sale even if sale was realised in next financial year

June 22, 2012 702 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, the liability to pay commission Rs. 2,94,701/- has arisen by virtue of sales in the financial year 2004-05 relevant to the assessment year 2005-06. The realization of sale amount in the next financial year will not make much difference as the liability to pay commission had crystallized in the financial year 2004-05 itself after sale. We, therefore, reverse the decision of the CIT(A) on this issue and allow the ground raised by the assessee.

Gift – Addition justified if Assessee fails to prove financial capacity of Donor

June 22, 2012 2202 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee’s argument of having established his bona fides in view of the money being deposited in his regular bank account would also be to no avail. Does the assessee mean to imply that he has some other unaccounted bank accounts as well, in which the amount could have been deposited? To pay the tax, legitimately due, and to recover the same, is the bounded duty of the citizen and the State respectively. In view of the foregoing, the application of section 69A is confirmed in the instant case by the revenue and, accordingly, the assessee’s ground is dismissed.
