Rule 8D was not applicable in A.Y. 2006-07 for making disallowance U/s. 14A

April 13, 2013 769 Views 0 comment Print

As rightly submitted by learned counsel for the assessee, the impugned order of the learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) is well reasoned and well discussed on this issue and the same is self explanatory as regards the reasons given by him for deleting the additional disallowance of Rs. 5,98,139 made by the Assessing Officer under section 14A. As held by him relying on the decision of the hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. (supra), rule 8D applied by the Assessing Officer to work out the disallowance under section 14A was not applicable to the year under consideration.

Service tax liability, for which there was no receipt by assessee by year end, could not be disallowed U/s. 43B

April 13, 2013 997 Views 0 comment Print

Facts are not in dispute inasmuch as it is also not in dispute that the assessee has paid the amount of service tax of Rs. 41,97,663/- before the due date of filing of return, therefore, the ld. CIT(A) has rightly deleted the said disallowance. As regards other disallowance of service tax payable Rs. 48,10,998/- we find merit in the plea of the ld. counsel for the assessee that the issue is covered in favour of the assessee by the decision of the Tribunal in Pharma Search (supra) wherein the Tribunal after considering the decision of Chowringhee Sales Bureau (P.) Ltd. v. CIT [1977] 110 ITR 385 (Cal.), Real Image Media Technologies (P.) Ltd. (supra) and other decisions held as under:-

If only one comparable is considered to determine ALP, benefit of ± 5 percent as provided by proviso to S. 92C(2) will not be available

April 13, 2013 1707 Views 0 comment Print

The language of this proviso to section 92C(2) makes it clear that selecting a price within the range of +-5% of such arithmetic mean if more than one price is determined by the most appropriate method. Therefore, the ALP shall be taken to be in the range of ± 5% of arithmetic mean of more than one price. Since in this case, one comparable is considered as ALP; therefore, the benefit under the said proviso would not be available.

Donation for scientific research is deductible even if payment on behalf of Assessee is been made by others

April 13, 2013 2053 Views 0 comment Print

It is seen that the assessee requested the other two companies to make the expenditure on their behalf by way of scientific research as it was not having sufficient funds at that time. This fact is not disputed by the Revenue or disproved by them. Therefore, the payment was made by the other two companies to the CMI. Even though they made the payment and obtained receipts in their name, the fact remains that they have not claimed any deduction nor shown those expenditure in their books of accounts .

Tribunal can rectify its order passed without giving sufficient opportunity of hearing

April 13, 2013 747 Views 0 comment Print

Tribunal proceeded to decide certain issues on merits without giving full opportunity to the aggrieved party to make submissions thereon, the order did certainly suffer from an error apparent on the record. Tribunal, therefore, committed no error in exercising power of rectification. We may, however, clarify that by recalling the said order, the Tribunal cannot seem to have recalled its earlier conclusions.

Review Petition admitted as assessments u/s. 158BC & 158BD were completed by same officer

April 13, 2013 829 Views 0 comment Print

If the claim of the Revenue that both the assessments were completed by the same officer one under s. 158BC and the other under s. 158BD is correct, then certainly the review has to be allowed as Manish Maheshwari’s case (supra) has no application. We, therefore, allow the review petition by recalling the judgment and by allowing the income-tax appeal by vacating the orders of the Tribunal with following direction to the Tribunal. If, on verification by the Tribunal it is noticed that assessments on both assessees one under s. 158BC and the other under s. 158BD are completed by the very same AO, Tribunal will treat the appeal as allowed by treating their orders as cancelled and by restoring the appeal before the Tribunal for them to take decision on merits after hearing both sides.

ALP cannot be determined arbitrarily, It must be by one of methods prescribed U/s. 92C, RW rule 10B

April 12, 2013 1462 Views 0 comment Print

The issue involved in the present case is relating to the determination of arm’s length price in relation to the international transactions involving payment of royalty by the assessee company to its associated enterprises. As provided in section 92C of the Act, such arms’s length price is to be determined by one of the methods prescribed, which is found to be the most appropriate method having regard to the nature of transaction or class of transaction or class of associated persons or functions performed by such persons or such other relevant factors as may be prescribed. The manner in which such most appropriate method is to be applied for determination of arm’s length price is prescribed in Rule 10B of Income-tax Rules, 1962.

Perpetual right of possession of Hotel suite with right to transfer is capital Asset

April 12, 2013 1844 Views 0 comment Print

Section 2(14) defines ‘capital asset’ as property of any kind held by an assessee. The term ‘property’ encompasses in its ambit bundle of rights. This includes every conceivable species of valuable rights and interests. The right to dispose off a thing in every legal way, to possess it and to use and to exclude everyone from interfering with it, comes within the ambit of property. The exclusive right of possessing, enjoying and disposing off a thing comes within the term of ‘property’. The assessee had perpetual right of possession of suite and was entitled to transfer the same by virtue of seventh covenant noted above. Therefore, long term advance booking by virtue of which assessee got right to possession was ‘capital asset’ within the definition of section 2(14) and, therefore, on transfer of the same long term capital gain accrued to the assessee and assessee was, accordingly, entitled for indexation of cost of acquisition.
