Benefits of Ss 12A and 80G cannot be allowed if there is no charitable activity and assessee undertakes only commercial activity

August 19, 2011 4812 Views 0 comment Print

Society For The Small & Medium Exporters Vs DIT (ITAT Delhi)- In a case where the objects of the society may be charitable, but, in the absence of carrying on those activities despite the fact that the activities which were carried on were for the purpose of generating income, the society is not entitled for registration for that year. Therefore, it is held that for assessment year 2008-09 and for subsequent years in which the assessee does not carry out charitable activity, the assessee has been rightly refused to get benefit of registration as charitable institution. The only activity which has been carried out is for the purpose of generating income, which is not a charitable activity in itself. Therefore, it is held that learned DIT (E) has rightly refused to grant registration to the assessee and his order is upheld.

CBDT Chairman asks department to achieve revised Direct Collection target of Rs. 5.32 lakh crores

August 17, 2011 588 Views 0 comment Print

During the past few days, I had extensive deliberations and meaningful discussions in the Board with my colleagues in the CBDT on the way forward. The mandate before us is for a substantive improvement in all areas of common concern coupled with use of technology and innovation to boost revenue resources and to take the department forward towards the realization of our Vision Statement. Our Revenue Collection target for the present fiscal stands at over Rs. 5.32 lakh crores which has been increased by 10% by the Hon’ble FM. I would like to call upon every member of the Aayakar Parivar to take on the call of duty and put in their best efforts for the attainment of the revised target. I know it is difficult, however nothing is impossible and I am confident that the officers will rise to the occasion.

Allowability of Interest U/s. 244A on MAT credit

August 17, 2011 4039 Views 0 comment Print

ACIT Vs Bank Of India (ITAT Mumbai)- As per the provisions of section 115JAA(2), the amount of tax credit of MAT to be carried forward is determined and it is not provided therein that first the taxes paid are to be adjusted and then credit of MAT is to be given. In the case of Chemplast Sanmar, cited supra, the Chennai Bench of the Tribunal has held while deciding he issue u/s.234B and 234C that the tax credit u/s.115JA(2) is advance tax retained by the Department for being set off against the tax liability of future years. We are in agreement with the ld. CIT that the assessee is entitled for interest u/s.244A on the refund given to it. We are also of the view that it was a mistake which could be rectified u/s. 154. So from this is is clear that MAT credit has to be given right at the beginning and if ultimately the calculation leads to a refund, then such interest has to be paid u/s.244A.
