Disallowance U/s.14A can not be made for Depreciation and for deduction allowable to Assessee under chapter VIA of the Income Tax Act, 1961

March 29, 2011 10841 Views 0 comment Print

Depreciation is admittedly in the nature of allowance and, therefore, it cannot be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A, which must remain confined to expenditure incurred by the assessee. Similarly, as far as deduction under section 80D is concerned, it cannot be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A either. The deduction under section 80D is not admissible because it is an expenditure for the purpose of earning an income but because, by virtue of specific provision under section 80D, payment of premium of health insurance, which is inherently personal expenses of the assessee, is admissible as deduction. This deduction cannot, therefore, be subject matter of disallowance under section 14A, which, as we have noted earlier, is confined to expenditure incurred for the purpose of an income which is not includible in total income of the assessee.

Transfer Pricing- ITAT Delhi held that for TNMM, interest on surplus and abnormal costs to be excluded

March 29, 2011 10321 Views 0 comment Print

Marubeni India Pvt. Ltd. v ACIT (I.T.A. No.919/Del/2009) (ITAT Delhi)- Interest income is to be excluded from operating revenue for computing the net profit from operating activity unless such interest income has nexus with the international transaction. Under the captive service and cost plus model, if an expense has a direct link with the international transaction, the same should form part of total cost i.e. operating costs. The onus is on the taxpayer to maintain robust documentation for availing necessary economic and risk adjustments. The option of +/- 5 % is available only to the taxpayer when he is computing the ALP and not when the AO/TPO is computing the ALP
