Capital Gain taxable in the year of transfer

September 4, 2012 2378 Views 0 comment Print

The reasoning of the Tribunal is premised upon the fact that capital assets were transferred on a particular date the assessee passed on the execution of the agreement. There is no material on the record or in the agreement suggesting that even if the entire consideration or part is not paid the title to the shares will revert to the seller. In that sense the controlling expression of ‘transfer’ in the instant case is conclusive as to the true nature of the transaction.

Court cannot create tenancy without the consent of the landlord

September 4, 2012 3463 Views 0 comment Print

The company-in-liquidation admittedly does not own the property. The Court cannot force respondent either to sell or let it out to ‘W’. Interim arrangement was made at the stage of admission of appeal considering the balance of convenience and inconvenience. Such interim arrangement could not be made permanent. Court cannot create tenancy without the consent of the landlord. In short, tenancy is a contract between landlord and tenant.

No addition for renovation while calculating value of rent free accommodation

September 3, 2012 2631 Views 0 comment Print

In the present case, if the Assessing Officer had returned a finding that the premises were to be valued at market value (of the rental), in case it increased as a result of the renovations, the only prescribed mode was to apply the method indicated by Rule 3 (a) (iii) of the Valuation Rules. The AO could not have included the entire expenses, and spread it over a period of five years, for the purpose of saying that the whole of such expense constituted a perquisite.

Power of Tribunal to reject cross objection if matter is remanded by HC for fresh adjudication?

September 3, 2012 1449 Views 0 comment Print

The Tribunal could not have rejected the cross objections without entering into factual matrix and being satisfied itself that the appellant had not in fact filed cross objections at the time when it could have originally filed them when the appeals had been filed before the Tribunal. This is also evident from a reading of this Court’s order.

Relief u/s. 10A has to be given before adjustment of current as well as past losses

September 2, 2012 2903 Views 0 comment Print

ection 10A, as it presently stands, though worded as deduction provision, is essentially and in substance an exemption provision. We have also held that the implication of an exemption provision is that the particular income which is exempt from tax does not enter the field of taxation and is not subject to any computation.

Subsidy towards power generation plant is to be reduced from actual cost of plant for allowing depreciation u/s. 32

August 31, 2012 1594 Views 0 comment Print

According to Explanation 10 and proviso to sub-section (1) of section 43, the subsidy amount shall be deducted in the actual cost of the asset of the assessee. Thus, the contention of the assessee that the subsidy received towards the power generation plant would not be reduced from the actual cost of the assets was not correct.

In the second ground, he had recorded that admissibility of the bad debts written off required to be verified. In the fourth ground also, he had recorded that admissibility of royalty claim was required to be verified.
