Whether software expenditure is capital or revenue in nature is to be seen independently in respect of each software

December 12, 2012 13699 Views 0 comment Print

The fact situation in respect of the necessity for having the issue of software expenditure examined to ascertain whether it is capital or revenue in nature in the case of Amway India Enterprises (supra) is similar to that of the present case of the assessee. We, therefore, respectfully following the decision in the case of Amway India Enterprises (supra), hold that since the examination of whether software expenditure incurred is

S. 50C Addition on basis of mere stamp duty valuation without considering market price not justified

December 12, 2012 3160 Views 0 comment Print

Held that the provision of Section 50-C enabling the revenue to treat the value declared by an assessee for payment of stamp duty, ipso facto, cannot be a legitimate ground for concluding that there was undervaluation, in the acquisition of immovable property. If Parliamentary intention was to enable such a finding, a provision akin to Section 50-C would have been included in the statute book, to assess income on the basis of a similar fiction in the case of the assessee who acquires such an asset.

Delay In Dispatch Of Assessment Order Renders It Void

December 11, 2012 15677 Views 4 comments Print

No doubt the provisions of section 153 requires that assessment order shall not be passed after the expiry of two years from the end of the assessment year in which the income was first assessable. This is applicable to this case. There is no requirement that service must be effected before the expiry date but there must be evidences to show that assessment order was indeed passed before the limitation.

Section 170 of the Income Tax Act deals with succession to business, otherwise than on death. On a reading of Section 43(6)(c), Explanation 2 to the Section and Section 170 along with the fourth proviso to Section 32(1), we have no hesitation in agreeing with the assessee’s case that when the assessee transferred its B Unit to the 100% subsidiary company,

No s. 40(a)(ia) Disallowance For Short-Deduction TDS Default

December 11, 2012 5620 Views 0 comment Print

Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act refers only to the duty to deduct tax and pay to government account. If there is any shortfall due to any difference of opinion as to the taxability of any item or the nature of payments falling under various TDS provisions, the assessee can be declared to be an assessee in default u/s. 201 of the Act and no disallowance can be made by invoking the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act.

S.14A not applicable to income exempt u/s. 50 of SIDBI Act, 1989

December 11, 2012 2174 Views 0 comment Print

Section 14A would have no application to the present facts. It is not the revenue’s case that bad debts have been incurred in relation to income which does not form part of the total income. Section 50 of SIDBI Act, 1989 only exempts payment of income tax. It does not provide that such income of the SIDBI Bank will not be a part of the total income. This would happen in cases of income specified in sections 10 and 10A. Even otherwise this issue was not raised before the authorities and cannot be now urged in an appeal under section 260A.

sec. 41(1) No tax on depreciation claim if capital loan is waived off by lender

December 11, 2012 2653 Views 0 comment Print

It is true that the assessee on the one hand gets the waiver of monies payable on purchase of machinery and claims such receipt as not taxable because it is capital receipt. On the other hand the assessee claims depreciation on the value of the machinery for which it did not incur any cost.
