Interest on delayed receipt of compensation on land acquisition is liable to TDS

February 28, 2012 9199 Views 0 comment Print

The acquisition is of the year 2001 while the compensation has been paid somewhere in the year 2009. Keeping in view the law laid down by the Apex Court in the matter of Bikram Singh v. Land Acquisition Collector [1996] 89 Taxman 119, it is to be held that interest received on delayed payment is a revenue receipt exigible to Income-tax. Since the amount has already been deposited by the respondent-authority and the deduction is in accordance with section 194A, therefore, no illegality has been committed by the Court below in upholding the action taken by respondent-authority in deducting the amount.

Lease Rent – Only Finance charge represents the revenue receipt

February 27, 2012 4846 Views 0 comment Print

Prakash Leasing Ltd. v. DCIT – The lease rentals is not the real income of the assessee. The lease rental consists of financing charge as well as capital recovery. The amount received towards capital recovery constitute the capital expenditure, whereas the financing charge represents the revenue receipt, which is the real income. It is as per the Accounting Standards prescribed by the ICAI. Therefore, the assessee under the Act has to offer to tax only the real income and not the total receipt. He is not liable to pay any tax under the Act on the capital recovery.

Merely because vehicles were used by lessees in their business, Assessee cannot be denied depreciation

February 27, 2012 1210 Views 0 comment Print

Merely because the vehicles were used by the lessees in their business, the assessee cannot be denied the depreciation @ 40%. In fact, it is not in dispute that in respect of all these vehicles, the assessee has acknowledged the receipt of lease rent and has shown the same in his profit and loss account. It is thereafter he is claiming depreciation. If the authorities were of the view that the assessee has failed to prove his ownership over those vehicles, then, if depreciation is to be disallowed then they also should not have taken that lease rental agreement for the purpose of making the assessment. Under these circumstances, it is also not in dispute that for the subsequent years, the assessee had been granted the benefit of depreciation. Therefore, the order to be passed by the authorities should be consistent.

Stay of Demand -ITAT asks to furnish surety to Assessing Officer

February 25, 2012 498 Views 0 comment Print

Having regard to the circumstances of the case we are of the view that the balance of convenience is in granting conditional stay. As declared in the open court, assessee is directed to pay a sum of Rs. 75,00,000/- on or before 15th March 2012 and with regard to the balance outstanding demand assessee should furnish proper surety to the Assessing Officer. The Registry is directed to post the appeal for final hearing on 23rd April 2012. Since the date is announced in the open court the issuance of notice to the parties is dispensed with.

In the case on hand it is to be noticed that it is a case of income escaping the assessment. It may not be a tax of avoidance but it would be a case of a return, which is filed with all the material escaping the attention of the Assessing Authority.

Immunity U/s. 271AAA(2) cannot be only because entire tax, along with interest, was not paid before filing of income tax return

February 24, 2012 1330 Views 0 comment Print

In our considered view, therefore, on the facts of the present case wherein entire tax and interest has been duly paid well within the time limit for payment of notice of demand under section 156 and well before the penalty proceedings were concluded, the assessee could not be denied the immunity under section 271AAA(2) only because entire tax, along with interest, was not paid before filing of income tax return or, for that purpose, before concluding the assessment proceedings.

Payments to outside lawyers which was not claimed as deductions in computation of profits cannot be disallowed under section 40(a)(ia)

February 24, 2012 946 Views 0 comment Print

There has been a lot of emphasis in the orders of the authorities below, as indeed in learned Departmental Representative’s arguments before us, about the scope of assessee’s obligations to deduct tax at source under section 194J. However, having regard to the fact that we are in seisin of the limited question of disallowance under section 40(a)(ia), we see no need to deal with that aspect of the matter at this stage. As far as this appeal is concerned, all these things issues regarding tax deduction at source obligations will be relevant only if one is to come to the conclusion that section 40(a)(ia) can be invoked in respect of the payments in question.

February 24, 2012 2074 Views 0 comment Print

The assessee is engaged in the business of trading in chemicals. The sales shown in the Profit & Loss Accounts were Rs. 3,15,85,478/- and against that purchases were shown as Rs. 93,31,117/- on which gross profit of Rs. 7.95% was declared. The assessee was required to submit month-wise details of sales and purchases according to which the total sales were reported at Rs. 3,22,81,924/- and purchases were reported at Rs. 3,04,17,709/-. Thus, it was observed by the Assessing Officer that there was a difference of Rs. 6,96,447/- in the sales and Rs. 10, 86,596/- in the purchases.
