The operation theatre and surgical are highly technical equipments for the operation of the persons. Therefore, they cannot be maintained in a routine or normal manner, but a technical person is required for maintenance of such equipments.

June 22, 2012 1745 Views 0 comment Print

It was held that the ‘gross amount’ royalty under the India-US DTAA includes not only the actual payment by way of royalty but also the tax withheld by the payer which is borne by him and paid to Central Government on behalf of the payee as agreed between the parties. In short, the ITAT held that the royalty has to be paid on the grossed up amount. ITAT Delhi also held that royalty is taxable on receipt basis irrespective of the system of accounting adopted by the parties.

Commission on sales is to be allowed in year of sale even if sale was realised in next financial year

June 22, 2012 879 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, the liability to pay commission Rs. 2,94,701/- has arisen by virtue of sales in the financial year 2004-05 relevant to the assessment year 2005-06. The realization of sale amount in the next financial year will not make much difference as the liability to pay commission had crystallized in the financial year 2004-05 itself after sale. We, therefore, reverse the decision of the CIT(A) on this issue and allow the ground raised by the assessee.

Gift – Addition justified if Assessee fails to prove financial capacity of Donor

June 22, 2012 2463 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee’s argument of having established his bona fides in view of the money being deposited in his regular bank account would also be to no avail. Does the assessee mean to imply that he has some other unaccounted bank accounts as well, in which the amount could have been deposited? To pay the tax, legitimately due, and to recover the same, is the bounded duty of the citizen and the State respectively. In view of the foregoing, the application of section 69A is confirmed in the instant case by the revenue and, accordingly, the assessee’s ground is dismissed.

Acceptance of records bars AO to make addition due to non-production of books

June 22, 2012 693 Views 0 comment Print

We find that during original assessment proceedings the Assessing Officer himself had accepted the position that the assessee had maintained quantitative details and that the general profit was on the higher side. We further find that in remand report also, the Assessing Officer could not justify the lump-sum addition other than making a short statement that addition was justified on books, vouchers, etc. as produced before him. In such circumstances, both the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Tribunal below deleted the lump-sum addition in the absence of any basis on the part of the Assessing Officer and even after holding that competitive details were maintained and the general profit was favourable.

No Scope for Calculations or recalculations of income declared u/s. 44BB

June 22, 2012 561 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee entered into a composite contract with ONGC to provide complete Mud Engineering Services which have been termed as ‘Mud Services & supply Mud Chemicals’ to ONGC in the contract. Both the services as well as the material required to provide such services is a composite and integral part of the contract. The assessee specialized in providing these services along with specialized chemicals required for the purpose. Thus, both these aspects are composite and cannot be segregated in part. This was a case of composite work contract which cannot be considered in parts for the purpose of taxation. The assessee has opted for working out the taxable income as per the provisions of section 44BB.
