Interest Paid to the extent amounts are diverted to sister/other concerns on interest free basis not allowable

June 26, 2012 1113 Views 0 comment Print

Since the assessee failed to establish nexus of use of borrowed funds for the purpose of business to claim deduction under section 36(1)(iii) of the Act, there is no escape from the finding that interest being paid by the assessee to the extent the amounts are diverted to sister concerns or other persons on interest free basis, are to be disallowed.

Merely because assessee incurred a loss on onshore activities it cannot be said that price was deliberately low to avoid taxability

June 25, 2012 1023 Views 0 comment Print

In our considered view, this is a very important aspect of the matter inasmuch as if the assessee has incurred a loss on its entire project, whether onshore or offshore, the mere fact that the assessee has incurred a loss on onshore activities cannot be reason enough to show, or even indicate, that the value of the onshore activities was deliberately kept at a lower amount to avoid taxability in India. Of course, it could still make commercial sense that the offshore supplies are made at loss, as long as these supplies are at less than incremental costs i.e. marginal costs of offshore supplies, and thus overall losses of the assessee are minimized.

Deduction u/s 80IB allowable even if not claimed in ITR

June 25, 2012 3492 Views 0 comment Print

The facts of the present case are similar only in the case in I.T.A. No.350/Del/.2009 wherein the Hon’ble Delhi Bench ‘D’ has dealt with the similar issue which was at ground No.3 of the appeal. The Tribunal has held in favour of the assessee and had remitted back file to the office of Assessing Officer for consideration of claim of assessee u/s 80IB. While deciding the matter, the Hon’ble Tribunal had considered various judicial pronouncements in which it was held that the authorities under the Act are under an obligation to act in accordance with law. If an assessee under a mistake, misconception or not being properly instructed is over-assessed, the authorities under the Act are required to assist him and ensure that only legitimate taxes are collected.

Mere change in ownership doesn’t convert a stock-in-trade into a capital asset

June 25, 2012 1475 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee, on partition of the joint family, had received the balance capital of the family in the real estate business comprising various assets, which were in the nature of stock-in-trade and it cannot be considered that the various assets or properties received by the assessee on partition are capital assets and these capital assets were converted into stock-in-trade of the real estate when the assessee continued to carry on the business of the erstwhile joint family.

If DTAA is silent on a particular type of income, it will not automatically become business Income

June 25, 2012 2209 Views 0 comment Print

Chapter III of DTAA between India and Mauritius did not provide for taxing any fees paid for technical services. Only for a reason that DTAA is silent on a particular type of income, we cannot say that such income will automatically become business income of the recipient. In our opinion, when DTAA is silent on an aspect, the provisions of the Act has to be considered and applied. This aspect has not been dealt with by the authorities below. We are, therefore, of the opinion that this issue requires a fresh look by the A.O.

Despite passing of assessment order, Valuation proceedings to be completed once it is referred to DVO

We do not think we would be justified in preventing the Assessing Officer from collecting evidence which may be used by him for the purpose of bringing what in his opinion is the proper amount of capital gains on the sale of Okhla land. As to how he proposes to use the evidence against the assessee is a matter of speculation which we refrain from indulging in.

Consultancy charges paid to non resident for project outside India not deemed to accrue or arise in India

June 25, 2012 4188 Views 0 comment Print

Here, the payments made by the assessee were to non-residents Indian who were working abroad. Assessee had made no deduction of tax at source whatsoever. As per the assessee, they were working for its business carried on in Nigeria and hence, by virtue of Section 9(1)(vii)(b) of the Act, the fees payable to such non-residents could not be considered as income accruing or arising to them in India.

Commission to working director-shareholder cannot be disallowed merely because assessee-company did not declare dividend

June 24, 2012 1682 Views 0 comment Print

The plain reading of sec. 36(1)(ii) contemplates two situations. According to the first situation, any sum paid to an employee as a bonus or commission for services rendered would be allowed to the assessee. The second part exhibits the other condition that the deduction mentioned in the first situation could be allowed, if such sum would have not been payable to an employee as a profit or dividend meaning thereby if the amount of commission or bonus is receivable by an employee in the shape of profit/dividend then such commission paid to such employee would not be allowed as a deduction.
