Expenditure incurred for running the business or working it, with a view to produce profits is in the nature of revenue expenditure

January 4, 2012 2538 Views 0 comment Print

Airport Authority of India vs. CIT (Delhi High Court) – The Supreme Court has held in the case of Assam Bengal Cement Co. Ltd. Vs. CIT (1995) 25 ITR 34 that if the expenditure is made for acquiring or bringing into existence an asset or advantage for the enduring benefit of the business it is properly attributable to capital and is of the nature of capital expenditure If on the other hand it is made not for the purpose of bringing into existence any such asset or advantage but for running the business or working it with a view to produce the profits it is a revenue expenditure. If any such asset or advantage for the enduring benefit of the business s is thus acquired or brought into existence it would be immaterial whether the source of the payment was the capital or the income of the concern or whether the payment was made once and for all or was made periodically. The aim and object of the expenditure would determine the character of the expenditure whether it is a capital expenditure or a revenue expenditure.

Transfer Pricing – Non-Reference To TPO Renders Order ‘Erroneous’ and prejudicial to revenue

January 4, 2012 2692 Views 0 comment Print

Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd vs. CIT (Delhi High Court) – Judgment of Special Bench in Aztec Software (supra) is not in conflict with Sony India (supra) once the validity of said instruction is upheld by this Court. The followup thereof is that the Assessing Officer was supposed to refer the matter to the TPO having regard to the fact that Specialized Cell was created by the Revenue Department to deal with the complicated and complex issues arising out of the transfer mechanism. The Tribunal was right in holding that even the instant case itself provides a good example for need to refer the matter to TPO in such cases. When circular is issued under Section 119 of the Act and its validity is upheld it is binding on the Assessing Officer. Not taking recourse thereto and passing the order amounted to making assessment without conducting proper inquiry and investigation as enjoyed by law which was also warranted in the facts of this case and, therefore, the Commissioner was right in holding that such assessment was erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the Revenue in the light of law laid down by the Apex Court in Malabar Industrial Co. Ltd. (supra).

For disallowing interest AO must give a finding with regard to the nexus between the interest bearing funds available and interest free advances made during the year

January 4, 2012 1096 Views 0 comment Print

Amarpali International Vs. ACIT (ITAT Delhi)- Ld. counsel of the assessee submitted that assessee has adequate interest free funds available with the firm which have been used to make the advances during the year. She claimed that no nexus has been established between the interest bearing fund and advances to sister concerns. We have carefully considered the submissions. We find that for making any disallowance in connection with the interest, it is incumbent upon the authorities below to give a finding with regard to the nexus between the interest bearing funds available with the firm and interest free advances made during the year. In our considered opinion, the interest of justice will be served, if the matter is remitted to the file of the Assessing Officer to consider the issue afresh. Assessing Officer shall examine the assessee’s claim that sufficient interest free funds are available to assessee to give advances to the concerns. Accordingly, the issue stands remitted to the file of the Assessing Officer.

January 4, 2012 5306 Views 0 comment Print

M/s Aithent Technologies Pvt Ltd. V/s. ITO (ITAT Delhi)- In its Transfer pricing study, the assessee adopted CUP method and justified the interest free loan on the basis that it had sufficient interest free funds. The TPO rejected the claim and computed notional interest at the rate of 14percent, based on certain domestic borrowings of the assessee.. On appeal, the Tribunal observed that the cost incurred by the assessee was not a relevant consideration under the CUP method and held that it was irrelevant whether the loans were advanced out of own funds or out of borrowed funds and whether the interest free loan were commercially expedient for the assessee or not.

ACIT Vs. Afghan Crane Crusher (ITAT Delhi)- Upon assessee’s appeal Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) noted that the aforesaid loans were duly recorded in the books of accounts and confirmations of loans were also filed before the Assessing Officer wherein the depositors accepted to have made interest free loans to the assessee. Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) further observed that the unsecured loans have been raised by the assessee from relatives and friends in the financial year 2004- 05 for obtaining credit limit from banks and the impugned sums do not represent trading liability for invoking provisions of section 41(1) of the Act. In view of the above facts Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) held that the Assessing Officer was legally and factually incorrect in invoking provisions of section 41(1) of the Act and made disallowance of Rs. 13,80,000/-.
