December 19, 2012 5903 Views 0 comment Print

Normally where a transaction is undertaken by a person who is a businessman, the question as to whether investment in shares is an income from the line of business could be taken as adventure in the nature of trade and it should not pose a problem, since such transactions would be either incidental or ancillary to the business, although the transactions undertaken may not have a direct bearing to the business already undertaken by the assessee.

Therefore, there is no infirmity in the action of the Assessing Officer/TPO in adopting CUP method for comparability analysis instead of TNMM applied by the assessee.

In the instant case, the assessee-trust is carrying on various activities in the nature of trade, commerce or business and rendering its services for the purpose of trade, commerce and business, because it is charging huge fees on account of various facts. No doubt, the assessee has given some explanation for charging fees by stating that it is charging fees as per rules framed by the Punjab Local Bodies Govt., which is clearly the admission by it that it is doing activities not for charitable purpose but for business purpose only.
