The Karnataka High Court struck down the Section 148 reassessment notice for being issued outside the jurisdiction/scope defined by Section 151-A. This decision invalidates the subsequent assessment, penalty, and demand, pending a final verdict from the Supreme Court on the core legal issue.
The Karnataka High Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeal, confirming that payments for software usage to a non-resident are not taxable as royalty under the Income Tax Act or DTAA. The court held the issue was conclusively settled by its own and the Supreme Court’s prior rulings in the assessee’s and similar cases.
ITR deadlines are frequently extended beyond statutory dates (July 31/Oct 31) due to technical issues, utility delays, or extraordinary events like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Section 194T, effective April 2025, mandates a 10% TDS on firms’ payments (salary, interest, etc.) to partners exceeding ₹20,000 annually. New rules create compliance and non-resident ambiguity.
Tribunal held that Netflix India is a limited-risk distributor providing access support services, not a content or technology entrepreneur. Since no copyright or technical licence existed, the ₹445-crore royalty-based transfer pricing adjustment was deleted.
ITAT Chandigarh ruled that additional income offered by a taxpayer during a survey, derived from business-related discrepancies like excess cash or stock, must be taxed at normal business rates. The tribunal held that the punitive tax rate under Section 115BBE does not apply if the income is clearly established as business income and does not fall under the deemed income provisions (Sections 69 to 69D).
ITAT Chandigarh quashed an assessment order made under Section 143(3) for a pre-search year, holding that after a Section 132 search, the assessment must mandatorily proceed under Section 148 with proper Section 148B approval. The tribunal ruled that the Assessing Officer’s continuation of the scrutiny post-search was a jurisdictional error, making the assessment void ab initio.
The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer rightly accepted excess stock and cash disclosed during survey as business income after enquiry. Section 115BBE was not applicable, and PCIT’s revision under Section 263 was invalid.
Capital gains liability for non-individual taxpayers under an unregistered Joint Development Agreement (JDA) arises immediately upon execution and granting enjoyment rights (AY 2020-21), based on Section 2(47)(vi) of the Income Tax Act, despite construction delays.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Permanent Establishment (PE) expands taxability for MNEs, holding that “effective control and continuous direction” through operational continuity, even without a traditional fixed office, constitutes a fixed-place PE under Article 5.
