February 7, 2013 2054 Views 0 comment Print

The assessment record reveals that the MLA had been placed on the record of the Assessing Officer in the very first instance when the assessment was completed under section 143(3). Thereafter the reassessment proceedings were initiated for those proceedings too and what drove the revenue to issue notice and reopen the proceedings was the master licensing agreement and the nature of ‘royalty income’. The Assessing Officer in that instance consciously after going through the material concluded that the rate of taxation was 15 per cent in the reassessment proceedings.
