Rule 2BA is in the form of guidelines for the purpose of section 10(10C), which relates to taxation of income/amount received by an employee under VRS scheme.

Amount not allowed for non deduction of TDS is eligible for deduction U/s. 80IB

October 30, 2012 1152 Views 0 comment Print

We are not inclined to interfere with the finding of the CIT(A) because on account of violation of conditions prescribed under clause (ia) the implication u/s.40(a) would be that the said amount will not be deducted in computing income chargeable under the head ‘profits and gains of business or profession’. The same will form part of profits and gains of business or profession of the assessee which could be included along with income under all the other heads in the assessee’s gross total income.

If non deduction of TDS on Salary is pursuant to HC order Assessee not liable for consequences u/s. 201

October 29, 2012 2054 Views 0 comment Print

Section 192 deals with the deduction of tax at source. It is computed on the estimated income of the assessee under the head ‘salary’ and the liability is at the time of payment of salary, if there is a perquisite, there is responsibility to deduct tax of the employer under section 192(1), 192(1A) and 192(1B). Perquisite is actually not a payment of salary but a benefit not in terms of money.

Penalty justified if deduction claimed is not permissible & there was no debatable or contentious issue

October 29, 2012 933 Views 0 comment Print
