March 12, 2012 2898 Views 0 comment Print

Mumbai Bench of ITAT observed that the term loan from IDBI was borrowed by the assessee for the purpose of acquiring a capital asset. Accordingly, ITAT held that the waiver of loan from IDBI was a capital receipt and not taxable u/s 28(iv) or 41(1). ITAT observed that the remission or reduction of liability, which is created on capital account, cannot to our mind result in a revenue receipt making it taxable u/s 28(iv) or 41(1) of the Act and that the waiver of such term loan does not constitute business and the waiver can not be held as income u/s.28(iv) or cessation of liability u/s 41(1).

Regular method employed means method followed in past years which continued to be followed in subsequent years

March 12, 2012 3489 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee was regularly employing the method of valuation for valuing the stock at cost or net realizable value whichever is less. By shifting to a new ERP package, for example, SAP 2 worked out the value of the stock at cost, any reduction in the valuation of the stock is not permitted in law. The assessee’s claim that the regularly employed method means change method should be adopted in subsequent years is also untenable. The regular employed method by the assessee must have been followed in the past years which is continued to be followed in the subsequent years. Considering the totality of the facts of the case and considering the case laws relied upon, we find no fault in the orders of the authorities below.

In case of additional evidence produced by Assessee, A.O must be given opportunity

March 12, 2012 1300 Views 0 comment Print

Indisputably, the ld. CIT(A) considered additional material in relation to two comparables and that of the assessee, which was not available before the TPO/AO. Apparently, the ld. CIT(A) did not follow the procedure laid down under Rule 46A of the IT Rules,1962 nor allowed any opportunity to the AO. The powers of the CIT(A) to admit additional evidence are not only in situations where the evidence could not be produced before lower authorities owing to lack of adequate opportunity but also in situations where the fresh evidence would enable the CIT(A) to dispose of the appeal or for any other substantial cause.
