Comparables cannot be rejected simply because they are loss or high profit making comparables

April 17, 2013 3668 Views 0 comment Print

Coming to the issue regarding ICC International, we find that assessee has demonstrated, as noted earlier, that it had earned super profits during the year because of increase in supply on account of government scheme. We find that TPO has considered the assessee’s objection regarding exclusion of high margin comparables in para 8.7 of his order and the DRP in para 7.1. They have merely, inter alia, observed that comparables cannot be rejected simply because they are loss or high profit making comparables. However, they have not considered that if certain extraordinary factors materially affected the profit in a particular year then that aspects had to be taken into consideration and due adjustment was required to be made to the net profit margin for brining the comparable on the same platform at which the assessee was performing its functions.

In ALP computation TPO to consider forex gain which is part of operating income of Assessee

April 17, 2013 1527 Views 0 comment Print

The proposition that gain on foreign exchange if it relates to the business of the assessee is part and parcel of operating income is well established by the afore-mentioned decisions of the coordinate benches. In the present case, nothing has been brought on record to suggest that the gain made by the assessee on fluctuation of foreign exchange was not on account of business transactions of the assessee. In absence of any such material, following the afore-mentioned decisions of the Tribunal, it has to be held that the foreign exchange gain of the assessee is to be considered as part and parcel of the profit of the assessee and therefore should be included for the purpose of computing the profit margin of the assessee.

In this context, it is pertinent to refer to the decision of the Hon’ble ITAT, Chandigarh Bench, in the case of Dy. CIT v. Smt.Baljinder Kaur [2009] 29 SOT 9 (URO), wherein it has been held that it is a well settled proposition that the concept of ‘fair market value’ envisages existence of hypothetical seller and hypothetical buyer, in a hypothetical market. Therefore, determination of fair market value of capital asset, as on 1.4.1981, would involve a judgement of estimation, based on relevant factors.
