November 20, 2009 9772 Views 0 comment Print

Section 46(2) provides that when a shareholder receives money or any other asset from a company on its liquidation, then such shareholder shall be charged to capital gains tax. This capital gain is on account of transfer of shares effected by extinguishment of rights in the shares. The section further provides

Year from which option has been exercised u/s 80-IA(1) is to be treated as initial assessment year for purpose of section 80-IA(5)

Section 80-IA(5) would come into operation only from the year in which the assessee started claiming deduction under section 80-IA i.e. from the initial year and the depreciation relating to the years prior to the initial assessment year cannot be brought back notionally to be adjusted against the income of the initial or subsequent assessment yearsSection 80-IA(5) would come into operation only from the year in which the assessee started claiming deduction under section 80-IA i.e. from the initial year and the depreciation relating to the years prior to the initial assessment year cannot be brought back notionally to be adjusted against the income of the initial or subsequent assessment years

Once data stored in electronic form, it becomes a customized electronic data which can be exported to qualify for deduction u/s 10A

The issue to be considered is whether the profit earned by the assessee from the activity of recruitment and training of personnel and supplying the data thereof to its parent company in US is eligible for deduction under sec.lOA or not read with the Board’s Circular dated 26.9.2000. In this connection, it would be worthwhile to consider first the role of the circulars issued by the Board.

If the Assessing Officer has made the assessment by making such inquiries as he deemed fit, the order cannot be termed as erroneous

I have duly considered the rival contentions and the material en record. The perception of the CIT that the profit is low prompted him to issue show cause notice to the assessee. Profit before taxation of the company as a whole for the year under consideration

Allowability of depreciation on a plant which was ready for use but not used

August 26, 2009 4981 Views 0 comment Print

Coming to the first point of difference it seems to me that even after the introduction of block of assets concept, there is no change in the legal position to the effect that the assessee^ would be entitled to depreciation even though the assets in question were not actually put to use in the relevant previous year, but were kept ready for being put to use for the purpose of the business. The judgment of the Hon’ble Madras High Court, on this question is in C1T vs. Vayithri Plantations Ltd. (1981) 128 ITR 675. In this case, the Hon’ble High Court was concerned with the assessment year 1971-72 and with the claim of development of rebate made by the assessee, Sec.33 of the Act dealt with development rebate. An assessee can c

Once capital asset is converted into stock-in-trade provision of section 2(47) becomes irrelevant and does not apply

The sale/transfer of stock-in-trade cannot be equated with the transfer of capital asset under section 2(47). The meaning of the words “otherwise transferred” in section 45(2), should be according to its ordinary popular and natural sense, and it should not include a transaction referred to under sub-clause (v) of sub-section (47) of section 2 in relation to a ‘capital asset’.

Section 80-IA relief has to be deducted before computing section 80-HHC relief

June 29, 2009 622 Views 0 comment Print

In ACIT Vs Rogini Garments108 ITD 49 the Special Bench at Chennai held that relief allowed u/s 80-IA had to be deducted from profits and gains of assessee’s business on which relief u/s 80HHC of the Act is to be computed. Subsequently, the Madras High Court in SCM Creations 304 ITR 319 took a contrary view. The question whether Rogini Garments was impliedly overruled was referred

Allowance or deduction not made as per IT Act, 1961 will not come under sweep of section 41(1)

May 29, 2009 583 Views 0 comment Print

Now, as per admitted facts of this case and as also noted by this Tribunal in their earlier order, the returns where assessee claimed interest were treated as non est returns. Hence, assessee had relied upon Hon’ble Madras High Court in the Narayanan Chettiar Industries case cited above. In this case the Hon’ble High Court was of the opinion that in respect of remission of liability,

No disallowance u/s 43B if deduction not been claimed by the Assessee in respect of sum payable by way of tax or duty

May 26, 2009 2345 Views 0 comment Print

Sec.43B can only be invoked when the assessee claims deduction for any sum payable by way of tax or duty, under any law for the time being in force, and, as such, where no such deduction is claimed nor charged made to the profit and loss account, there is no question of disallowing the amount. Having regard to the facts, the Assessing Officer was not justified in making the addition under sec.43B.

Section 54F exemption cannot be availed if there is a house in existence on the date of transfer

May 25, 2009 2082 Views 0 comment Print

I have heard the rival submissions in the light of material placed before me and the precedents relied upon. The assessee got share in the house property, as per the WILL of his father He became the joint owner of the property along with his brother. After becoming the joint owner of the said property the assessee sold shares for the purpose of construction of an additional floor in the house for him and the cost to the construction was claimed as exempted under sec 54F.
