Vipin P. Mehta v ITO (ITAT Mumbai) – ITAT accepts the assessee’s claim that he had the declarations of the payees in the prescribed form before him at the time when the interest was paid, he was not liable to deduct tax therefrom under section 194A. If he was not liable to deduct tax, section 40(a)(ia) is not attracted. There is no other ground taken by the Income-tax authorities to disallow the interest.
CIT v Kokilaben A Shah (Gujrat HC) – Tribunal observed that gift was received through normal banking channel. Identity of donor was disclosed and established. Assessee had furnished complete details of the gift. Tribunal noted that none of the departmental authorities made any attempt to find out whether the explanation of the assessee was false. Tribunal relied on decision of Division Bench of this Court in case of National Textiles v. Commissioner of Income Tax reported in 249 ITR 125, wherein Bench observed that if the assessee gives an explanation which is unproved but not disproved, it would not lead to inference that assessee’s case is false. We are also in broad agreement with the same.
Six Continents Hotels Inc. v DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) -Marketing and reservation contribution received by the assessee, non-resident, owner of a trademark from Indian hotel owners with a corresponding obligation to use it for the agreed purposes are not Royalty or Fees for Included Services and they are in the nature of business income and since the assessee does not have a PE in India, the same are not taxable in India.
CIT v Loknete Balasaheb Desai S.S.K. Ltd. (Bombay HC)- ITAT was justified in holding that in respect of unsold sugar lying in stock, central excise liability was not incurred and consequently the addition of excise duty made by the assessing officer to the value of the excisable goods was liable to be deleted.
CIT v Dynamic Vertical Software India Pvt. Ltd. (Delhi HC) – Is disallowance under section 40(a)(i) for non deduction of tax at source attracted in respect of payment for purchase of software from a non-resident, by treating the same as royalty in case where the purchase is for subsequent resale in the Indian market?
Facts (a) that the appellant had disclosed all material facts and (b) raising a legal claim, even if it is ultimately found to be legally unacceptable, cannot amount to furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income,
Dis-allowance on the ground that the assessee has diverted interest bearing funds into tax-free income can not be made where the assessee owes ample interest free funds on the date of investment.
Patni Computer Systems Ltd vs. DCIT (ITAT Pune) – A continuing debit balance per se, in the account of the associated enterprises, does not amount to an international transaction u/s 92B in respect of which ALP adjustments can be made. U/s 92B(1), the apportionment of cost is permissible only where there exists a ‘mutual agreement or arrangement’ between two or more Associated Enterprises for apportionment of cost incurred in connection with a benefit, service or facility provided to any one or more of such Enterprises. The bare allegation that the AE’s had received ‘specific and identifiable benefits’ is not sufficient to justify apportionment.
Statute makes the amended provision Section 80P(4) inserted by Finance Act, 2006 to be effective from 1.4.2007, which therefore clearly indicates that it is applicable from the Assessment Year 2007-08 onwards. The said provision clearly mandates that the provisions of Section 80P shall not apply in relation to any co-operative bank other than a primary agricultural credit society or a primary co-operative agricultural and rural development bank.
The above mentioned guidelines have been reconsidered by the Board and it has been decided that the scrutiny of such cases would be limited only to the aspects of information received through AIR. However, a case may be taken up for wider scrutiny with the approval of the administrative Commissioner, where it is felt that apart from the AIR information there is a potential escapement of income more than Rs. 10 Lacs.
