Expenditure on renovation/repair/addition in leasehold premises is capital expenditure

January 3, 2013 23993 Views 0 comment Print

It is essential that the expenditure incurred on the construction of any structure on the leased premises should result in saving of the revenue expenditure at the subsequent stage. In the present case, from the pleadings of both the sides, it cannot be ascertained whether the assessee is getting enduring benefit of revenue nature from the additional structure or renovation/repairs undertaken by the assessee on the leased out premises. In our considered opinion, the case of the assessee very much falls within the ambit of Explanation 1 of section 32(1) of the Act. Therefore, both the appeals of the assessee are dismissed being devoid of merit.

Disallowance U/s.14A cannot be made if assessee has not incurred & claimed any expenditure against exempt income

January 3, 2013 3270 Views 0 comment Print

In our considered opinion. for making any disallowance u/s. 14A is to firstly examine the assessee’s claim of having incurred some expenditure or no expenditure in relation to exempt income. If the AO gets satisfied with the same then there is no need to compute disallowance as per Rule 8D.

It is clear that the completion of assessment/re-assessment without furnishing the reasons recorded by the Assessing Officer for initiation of proceedings under section 147/148 of the Act is not sustainable in law as it is incumbent on the Assessing Officer to supply them within reasonable time as held by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of GKN Driveshafts (India) Ltd. v ITO (supra).

As rightly submitted by the learned DR, one of the reasons given by the AO for making disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) was that the payment of freight charges was made by the assessee on account of air fare and not shipping charges and even the said air fare was not directly paid to the airlines but the same was paid to the different parties who acted as freight booking agents.

Interest Income not eligible for deduction u/s. 80IB

January 1, 2013 3049 Views 0 comment Print

A bare look at section 80-IB(4) would reveal that reference made to ‘profits and gains derived from such industrial undertakings’ and not to ‘profit and gains derived from any business of the industrial undertaking’. A conjoint reading of Section 80-IB(l) and 80-IB(4) would reveal that the expression ‘profits and gains derived from any business’ is to be read as ‘profits and gains derived from the industrial undertaking’

January 1, 2013 2026 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee has objected to the valuation adopted by the stamp valuation authority and has also filed the valuation report by an Approved Valuer in support of the actual fair market value. The provisions of clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 50C, provides that where the assessee claims before the Assessing Officer that the value adopted or assessed by the stamp valuation authority under sub-section (1) exceeds the fair market value of the property as on the date of transfer,

Deduction U/s. 54F to be disallowed on failure to complete construction within 3 years

January 1, 2013 3585 Views 0 comment Print

In the case before us, admittedly no plans were made, therefore, there is no question of getting the same approved. Apart from this, the ld. counsel of the assessee admitted that assessee has no evidence to prove that assessee wanted to start construction. If the tax is allowed to be postponed merely on the basis of purchase of plot then no assessee would pay correct taxes during the year
