Onus of proving what was apparent is not real is on the party who claims it to be so

June 18, 2012 8628 Views 0 comment Print

Issue -Whether the impugned order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is perverse? In CIT versus Daulat Ram Rawat Mull, (1973) 87 ITR 349, the Supreme Court held that onus of proving what was apparent is not real is on the party who claims it to be so. There should be some direct nexus between the conclusions of fact arrived at by the authorities concerned and the primary facts upon which the conclusion is based. Use of extraneous or irrelevant material in arriving at the conclusion would vitiate the conclusion of fact, because it is difficult to predicate to what extent, the extraneous and irrelevant material has influenced the authority in arriving at the conclusion of fact.

Non-occupancy charges received by Housing society not taxable

June 18, 2012 4242 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee has challenged the addition of Rs.30,914/- made by the Assessing Officer on account of non-occupancy charges as income from the business not covered under the principles of mutuality. Learned AR submitted that the assessee’s case is covered by the decision of the ITAT Mumbai Bench passed in ITA No.6325/Mum/06 for the assessment year 2003-2004 vide order dated 14-5-2009 in the case of the assessee itself.

Assessee entitled to depreciation on vehicle purchased but not registered in his name

June 17, 2012 6605 Views 0 comment Print

The only other issue in this appeal is against the deletion of addition of foreign travel expenses. The facts of this ground are that the assessee incurred foreign travelling expenses to the tune of Rs. 23.50 lakh. The A.O. disallowed a sum of Rs. 3 lakh for the reason that the journeys undertaken were not in connection with the business. The learned CIT(A) deleted the addition by observing that all the places visited by the assessee were in connection with the business. No material has been brought on record to controvert this finding of the learned CIT(A). We, therefore, uphold the impugned order to this extent. This ground is not allowed.

AO cannot question genuineness of unregistered Will if attested by two witnesses

June 16, 2012 6799 Views 1 comment Print

In our considered view the contention of learned counsel for the assessee has substance inasmuch as Indian law does not prescribe registration of the Will, it should be in writing, attested by two witness; there is no requirement of any registration or notarization thereof. In this case the Will is in writing and duly attested by two witnesses, therefore, no adverse inference can be drawn on the aspect that witness did not advice for registration of the same.

Certificate typographical errors- Cant result in denial of Deductions

June 16, 2012 1558 Views 0 comment Print

Assessee is engaged in the business of production and export of software from India to foreign countries and they are not in the business of providing technical services outside India, it is only producing and exporting software. The material on record clearly shows that except for these three years, rest of the certificates are correctly issued showing the amount involved in the production and export of the software at Clause 3(i). It is only in these three years certificates as against the Clause 3(i) nothing is typed and it is typed against Clause 3(ii). Hence, we are satisfied that there is a bona fide typographical error. The Chartered Accountant without carefully looking into those entries has issued the certificates, which has resulted in confusion.

Holding conference at 5 star hotel cannot be grounds to deny registration u/s 12AA or 80G

The main issue raised by the DIT(E) is in respect of holding of conference of doctors at a five star hotel and the fact that the donors are pharmaceutical companies and some of them have deducted TDS. Adverse inference has also been drawn from extravagance of expenses the fact that the conference was of doctors and there is no benefit to the common public.

Section 14A disallowance applies to partner’s share of profits but not to Depreciation

June 16, 2012 5674 Views 0 comment Print

The instant case is that of the partner and therefore what is to be examined is whether the share income is excluded from his total income. The answer is obviously in the affirmative. In such a situation, provision contained in section 14A will come into operation and any expenditure incurred in earning the share income will have to be disallowed. section 14A uses the words expenditure incurred by the assessee in relation to income. A statutory allowance under section 32 i.e. Depreciation is not an expenditure.

Bonus & commission paid to MD for services rendered as per appointment terms is allowable business expenditure

June 16, 2012 5736 Views 0 comment Print

A was the managing director and in terms of the board resolution was entitled to receive commission for services rendered to the company. It was a term of employment on the basis of which he had rendered service. Accordingly, he was entitled to the amount. Commission was treated as a part and parcel of salary and tax had been deducted at source. A was liable to pay tax on both the salary component and the commission. The payment of dividend was made in terms of the Companies Act, 1956. The dividend had to be paid to all shareholders equally. This position could not be disputed by the Revenue. Dividend was a return on investment and not salary or part thereof.

No application of section 194H in respect of discount received on purchase of plots

June 16, 2012 2414 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case before us also, the assessee parted with a portion of his commission received from the builder for helping the intending buyers of flats. In other words, the purchasers received discount in the purchase price .There is nothing to suggest that the purchasers of flats rendered any service to the assessee rather the assessee rendered services to the intending purchasers. In the light of view taken by the Hon’ble Apex Court in their aforesaid decision in Surendra Buildtech Pvt. Ltd(supra),especially when the Revenue have not placed before us any material ,controverting the aforesaid findings of the ld. CIT(A) so as to enable us to take a different view in the matter, we are not inclined to interfere with the findings of the ld. CIT(A),holding that the provisions of section 1 94H are not attracted while making payments to the aforesaid intending purchasers of flats. Consequently, provisions of sec. 40a(ia) of the Act are not applicable.
