Notional income cannot be brought to tax on properties shown and accepted to be taxable u/s 28

February 22, 2012 2921 Views 1 comment Print

We find that the undisputed fact is that the premises are trading assets and have been shown as stock-in-trade. No rent has been received in respect of these unsold assets. The income from the properties have been shown and accepted to be taxable u/s 28. Unless specifically provided a notional income cannot be brought to tax. In other words, the concept of real income is applicable to computation of business income unless specifically provided otherwise. The assessee has not earned any income from the stock-in-trade. Therefore, we are of the view that the ld. CIT(Appeals) rightly allowed the relief to the assessee. In the result, this ground is also dismissed.

Tippers, vibrator & vibrator soil compactor are commercial vehicle

February 21, 2012 17494 Views 1 comment Print

Commercial vehicle is to include heavy goods vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle, light motor vehicle, medium goods vehicle but is not to include maxi-cab, motor-cab, tractor and road-roller. Therefore, the question which falls for consideration is whether Tippers, Vibrator and Vibrator Soil Compactor would be covered by the expression ‘commercial vehicle’ or such vehicles have to be regarded as plant and machinery to attract less percentage of depreciation. The reasoning adopted by the Tribunal would not suffer from any legal infirmity because the Tippers are registered under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (for brevity ‘the 1988 Act’) as road transport vehicle as would be vibrator and vibrator soil compactor.
