The question as to whether the expenditure would fall for consideration under section 35AB or the question as to whether the expenditure is on account of revenue or capital has to be decided by taking note of the facts and circumstances leading to the said expenditure. As pointed out by the Bombay High Court, in the case of CIT v. Kirloskar Tractors Ltd.[1998] 98 Taxman 112, in order to arrive at a just and proper conclusion, one must look at the nature and character of the advantage in a commercial sense having regard to the purpose of the outlay and its intended object and effect. As pointed out by High Court if the expenditure is for carrying on or conduct of the business, then it may be regarded as an integral part of the profit making process, and the expenditure qualifies for being considered as a revenue expenditure.
According to the applicant, the merger and consequent transfer of all assets and liabilities did not generate any gain. The applicant was in involved circumstances. That is why the merger with the parent company was thought of. On a merger, the transfer or is effaced. The transaction undertaken is apparently one sanctioned by Swiss law. The gain if any in this case is not determinable within the scope of section 45 and section 48 of the Act as postulated in the Ruling in Dana Corporation (AAR No.788 of 2008). On a consideration of the facts obtaining in this case, I am of the view that no capital gain chargeable to tax under the Act in terms of section 45 read with section 48 can be said to arise.
The services rendered by the applicant are technical in nature and do not fall within the exception provided in the definition of FTS since the applicant has not actually carried out any mining or like project. It can at best be said that the services were rendered “in connection with” the mining activity undertaken by the Indian Companies. The applicant cannot be taxed under section 44BB since it had merely contracted to render some prospecting services through a sub-contractor in India.
in this case Ld.CIT(A) has in fact restored the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer for re-consideration and verification from the bank about the amount of actual cessation which amounts to setting aside the matter to the file of the Assessing Officer, and such action is beyond the powers confirmed upon the Ld.CIT(A) while dealing with appeal. So, action of the CIT(A) to this extent being not justified is set aside.
It is clear that for invoking the proviso to section 147 beyond the period of four years, there must be failure on the part of the assessee to either make a return under section 139 or in response to a notice under section 147/148 or to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary for the assessment for that assessment year.

The condonation of delay for non-filing of appeal is to be considered in the light of the facts of the case and existence of sufficient cause or reasonable cause. In the absence of any reason, delay cannot be condoned and where there was actual negligence and inaction which led to in inordinate delay, the delay cannot be condoned as held in Dy. CIT v. Jaya Publications [2010] 123 ITD 53 (Chennai).
The Australian Senate has passed legislation on the application of transfer pricing rules, designed to ensure that multinational companies pay their ‘fair share’ of tax.

Various objections raised by AO as mentioned above have been verified by ld. CIT(A) and found that land and building and machineries are new. Capitals introduced by the Directors are from their own sources and not by transferring from M/s. Shagun. Out of 70 employees employed by assessee company, only 8 employees were related to M/s Shagun and this is not a reason that for employing the ex-employees of any other company curtails the benefit allowable to the assessee.
The appeal was filed in June, 2000. Our Court in the matter of CIT Vs. Vijay V.Kavekar in Income Tax Appeal No.78 of 2007 dated 29th July, 2011 held that the CBDT Circular No.2/2011 issued on 9th February 2011 directing the Revenue not to file appeals under Section 260A in cases where the tax effect is less than Rs.10/- lacs. The said circular has retrospective effect and would also apply in respect of pending appeals. Consequently, the appeal would also not be entertained on the ground that the tax effect is less than Rs.10/- lacs.
