A plain reading of the power of attorney, makes it clears that the powers given therein are liaison office specific. The AO’s conclusion that the power of attorney granted unfettered powers to its liaison office’s employee, to do all or any acts for and on behalf of the assessee, is incorrect.
The AO has not given his findings, for levying the penalty, for each issue separately, with respect to the satisfaction of the AO for each of the issue respectively, nor has he given a finding for each issue separately as to whether there was a concealment of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars of income.
As per sec.115JB (2A), the tax credit shall be the difference of tax paid for any AY under 115JB(1) and the amount of tax payable on his total income computed in accordance with the other provisions of this Act.
AO has not made any enquiry with respect to the claim of deduction of the assessee company with respect to provisions for warranty charges, excise duty, sales tax and liquidity damages amounting to Rs.17.72 crores.
It is a fact that the movement of prices of commodities cannot be predicted by anyone with accuracy and hence it is inconceivable or unlikely that the assessee could have made profits consistently, even if it is assumed for a moment that the assessee had actually carried out the transactions for its own benefit.
n this case, it was held that it is not a simple case of deduction of tax at source by applying the rate only as per the provisions of Act, when the benefit of DTAA is available to the recipient. Therefore, the question of applying the rate of 20% as provided u/s 206AA is an issue which requires a long drawn reasoning and finding.
The ITAT Bench Cochin held that the assessee would be entitled to deduction u/s 80 IB(7) if its incomes are derived from eligible business irrespective of the manner in which the entries in the books of account are maintained.
While granting sanction u/s 151 of the I.T Act,1961 for granting sanction for approval of re-assessment proceedings it is necessary for the authorithy to apply his/her mind. Mere affiction of signature along with date cannot be considered as proper approval.
The assessee may not have been successful in getting customers or earning the business income, but if the assessee has done requisite preparations and if the assessee can be said to be in a position to cater to its customers
It is open to a company to buy back its own shares by following the procedure prescribed under section 77A/Section 68 or by following the procedure prescribed under section 391 read with Sections 100 to 104 of the 1956, Act.
