October 12, 2012 29948 Views 0 comment Print

Fees & Other Consultancy Expenses related to Income-tax matters are allowable

October 12, 2012 7831 Views 0 comment Print

Rs. 27,650/- was paid by the assessee to various Advocates and Consultants in relation to conferences, advice and consultation pertaining to Income-tax matters, therefore, the said payments do not fall within the purview of section 80VV of the Act. The said section restricts deduction in respect of expenses incurred by an assessee in respect of any proceedings before any Income-tax Authority or the Appellate Tribunal or any Court relating to the determination of any liability under the Income-tax Act by way of tax, penalty or interest. In other words Section 80VV of the Act seeks to restrict the allowance in respect of expenditure incurred by an assessee in respect of a specific proceeding under the Act. Therefore, the said section has no application.

No penalty & Interest for non deduction of TDS if Deductee-payee having no tax liability

October 12, 2012 15065 Views 0 comment Print

There cannot be any dispute that an assessee who is having losses cannot be compelled to pay the income-tax, as the Income-tax Act does not provide for such a situation, exception being the MAT provisions in the case of companies. What is required to be seen as per the circular issued by CBDT and which was approved by Supreme Court in Hindustan Coca Cola Beverage (P.) Ltd. v. CIT [2007] 293 ITR 226, is that ‘Taxes due’ have been paid by the deductee-assessee.

Indian office having not incurred any head office expenses, no income could be attributed to it on that ground

October 12, 2012 1341 Views 0 comment Print

The finding of the AO is that expenditure incurred by the head office will have to be allocated to the Indian offices. There has been no allocation made by the assessee. The income is being offered for tax on cost plus basis, therefore, the general and administrative expenditure incurred by the head office for running India offices has to be considered for working out the cost base.
