Lease transaction is genuine if lessee has got right just to use the asset & have to return it back it on termination of lease

January 15, 2013 897 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case, the assessee had no right to transfer or alienate the machinery in any form, was obliged to re-deliver the equipment upon termination of lease agreement, was not to part with possession and not to make alteration in the equipments with the stipulation that additions would belong to the lessor; and the lessor was entitled to claim depreciation during the lease period. Looking to the explicit terms and stipulations, the findings of the AO about so-called “substantial” transfer of ownership though “apparent” non-transfer of title, in our view, could not have been countenanced and have rightly been reversed by the Appellate Authority.

Fresh notice is not necessary when reassessment is set aside for non-observance of natural justice

January 15, 2013 1558 Views 0 comment Print

Where the AAC set aside the reassessment on the only ground that the assessee was not afforded opportunity to put forward his case, but did not hold that the notice issued under section 148 was invalid, there would be no need for the ITO to issue a fresh notice to the assessee.

TPO can select method other then the one selected by Assessee to determine true income

January 15, 2013 1816 Views 0 comment Print

It is seen that the assessee has itself accepted that TNMM is similar to CPM excepting that CPM is based on gross margins whereas TNMM is based on net margins. The assessee has also accepted that if proper selection criteria are adhered to application of TNMM would also result in the fact that the price at which the assessee has undertaken the international transactions are at arm’s length.

It is in this sub-section that the legislature has enumerated the nature of the undertakings, their activities in contributing raising of infrastructure.

ADIT (International Taxation) Vs. Adani Enterprises Ltd. (ITAT Ahmedabad)

January 15, 2013 1906 Views 0 comment Print

Deeming of income accruing or arising in India are those situations where income has not actually accrued or arisen in India but still it will be deemed to accrue or arise in India. Hence, both the situations are mutually exclusive. If one case is falling within the ambit of income accrued and arisen in India, it cannot fall within the ambit of income deemed to accrue or arise in India and vice versa.

January 15, 2013 745 Views 0 comment Print

After considering the rival submissions and examining the record, there is no bona fide reason for excluding the above amount from the computation of income by assessee. As seen from the computation statement, assessee has not even claimed the tax credit for the amount deducted in Korea as the same has to be given credit in the hands of the principal company in Japan.

Applicability of provisions of sec 263 to a block assessment order passed after obtaining approval u/s. 158BG

January 15, 2013 1561 Views 0 comment Print

Passing of an order under Section 158BC rests on the previous approval of the Commissioner. On a reading of Section 158BG, particularly the proviso, reveal the mandatory nature of such an approval, that the proviso reads as ‘provided that no such order shall be passed without the previous approval of the Commissioner …’. In the background of the above-said provisions, in keeping the law declared by the Apex Court in Sahara India (Firm)’s case (supra) that with civil consequences flowing out of such an approval, we have no hesitation in accepting the plea of the assessee that in the face of such an approval granted to the order passed under Section 158BC, there can be no assumption of jurisdiction by an authority of the same rank under Section 263 of the Act.
