May 6, 2010 2951 Views 0 comment Print

For the purpose of allowability of any expenditure under the Act , what is material is the classification between the capital and revenue and the same does not recognise any concept of deferred revenue expenditure.

Section 80-1A(2) benefit available to telecommunication services undertaking for 10 consecutive years from the year of exercise of option

May 6, 2010 1663 Views 0 comment Print

We have heard both the parties and gone through the facts of the case and the decisions cited before us. The issue before us as to whether or not the assessee is entitled to claim deduction u/s 80IA in terms of the provisions amended w.e.f 1.4.2000 even when the assessee had already started providing telecommunication services in the period relevant to the AY 1997-98. Before proceeding further, we may have a look at the provisions relevant to the AY 1997-98 and

S.271(1)(b) Penalty not for mere technical non-compliance but for actual or habitual defaulters

January 10, 2010 32892 Views 8 comments Print

It shows that these assessees had really intended to comply with the notices and therefore it should not be inferred that there was a default which could invite penalty u/s 271(l)(b). The ITAT Delhi Bench-G in the case of Akhil Bhartiya Prathmik Shikshak Sangh Bhawan Trust vs. Assistant Director of Income-tax (2008) 115 TTJ (Delhi) 419

Bank interest is not eligible for deduction U/s. 80-IB/80HHC

January 10, 2010 1712 Views 0 comment Print

The next two items are penal charges of Rs.5,11,688/ – and Rs. 10,970/-. These amounts have already been held to be business income while discussing the issues of section 80IB. Accordingly, we direct the AO to treat these two amounts as part of business income for computation under section 80HHC.

If AO assume concealment without considering the actual payments made in the subsequent years, such attempt would be premature

We have heard both the sides in detail. Thrust given by the C1T(A) on the mens rea reflected in the conduct of the assessee does not survive with usual force, since the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India & Others Vs. Dharmendra Textiles Processors & Ors., 306 1TR 277.

In penalty proceedings, assessee can always show that finding recorded in quantum proceedings is neither reliable nor sufficient to impose penalty

January 4, 2010 1798 Views 0 comment Print

On careful consideration of relevant facts, I am of the view that important fact stated by the assessee in his reply to penalty notice has not been considered in accordance with law. The revenue authority and the Tribunal in the quantum proceedings proceeded mainly on a presumption that the payment was made through account payee cheque, decided the issue against the assessee and the expenditure claimed was disallowed and added to the income of the assessee. In the penalty proceedings, which admittedly are different and separate from the assessment proceedings, the assessee was entitled to render fresh explanation and accordingly detailed reply dated 8-11-2004 was filed before the AO. In the said reply it was emphasized t

Section 176(3A) applicable only when there is a discontinuance of business

The Honourable Madras High Court in CIT Vs Western Agencies Madras Pvt. Ltd. (2008) 305 ITR 301 held that if a company lakes over the business of the firm by taking over assets and liabilities of the firm, then the company cannot be assessed in respect of the income of the period prior to dissolution of the firm.

S. 41(1) applies only to trading liability not to other types of liabilities

Where the assessee had not claimed nor obtained a deduction in respect of a security deposit treating it as a trading liability, section 41 (1) cannot be invoked when such security deposit is refunded to the assessee. In the present case, none of the above probabilities existed and this is a case of amount

Donation made for business purpose is allowable expenditure

But now, we have to consider the alternative claim of the assessee, whether the assessee is entitled for deduction u/s.37(1) of the Act, of donation made in lieu of appeal made by the GOG as the abovementioned amount was paid because Gujarat State was reeling under severe drought and one of the most important assets of the poor people of Gujarat i.e., cattle would be lost which would result in permanent loss to a large number of farmers and others, whose dependence on cattle were substantial. The company made payment to suppliers, who gave fodder directly to various cattle camps as directed by the GOG. The assessee-company paid this amount on the direction of GOG for keeping smooth relation with the gov

Burden to determine "actual cost" of assets in accordance with law is on Assessing officer

November 30, 2009 1797 Views 0 comment Print

After careful consideration of1 above provisions and facts and circumstances of the case, I am unable to accept the stand of the Revenue. As noted above actual cost should ordinarily mean real cost or real worth of assets. If it is not market value, then what is it? Mechanism to take W.D.V as provided in Explanation 2 to Section 43(6)(c) is not available in Explanation 3 o auction 43(1). Further, assets whose actual cost is to be determined under Explanation 3 are second hand and it is always difficult to find actual cost or value of such assets as compared to new assets. In the case of transf
