February 9, 2012 1132 Views 0 comment Print

Terming the set revenue target of Rs 5.32 lakh crore as “non-negotiable”, CBDT Chairman Laxman Das has written to top Income Tax officials in the country asking them to take up the ‘challenge’ of filling the deficit.

February 9, 2012 1293 Views 0 comment Print

ACIT Vs American Express Services India Ltd. (ITAT Mumbai)- We find that it is not in dispute that the transaction between the assessee and American Express Bank, inter alia, including for purchase of Acquired Business Database were subjected to transfer pricing scrutiny and, the Transfer Pricing Officer vide order dated 15.2.2005 has accepted the transaction without making any adjustment to the arms length price. In this view of the matter and as held by Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of CIT vs. Oracle India Pvt Ltd (243 CTR 103), when the price fixed is acceptable as arms length price by Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) under section 92 of the Act, it cannot be open to the Assessing Officer to disturb that price so paid as unreasonable.

Intelsat Corporation Vs. ADIT (International Taxation)- We have considered the facts of the case and submissions made before us. We have already mentioned that there is a distinguishable feature namely that the assessee has received payments from persons residents in India. However, the receipts have been taxed u/s 9(1)(vii), Explanation 2, Clause (vi) thereunder. The decision in the case of Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited is to the contrary and in favour of the assessee. It is also a matter of fact on record that the assessee is a tax resident of USA and, therefore, the provisions contained in the DTAA are applicable.

Bank Guarantee Commission not liable to TDS U/s. 194H as it is is not a transaction between principal and agent

Kotak Securities Limited vs. DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) – When we look at the connotations of expression ‘commission or brokerage’ in its cognate sense, as in the light of the principle of noscitur a sociis as we are obliged to, in our considered view, scope of expression ‘commission’, for this purpose, will be confined to ‘an allowance, recompense or reward made to agents, factors and brokers and others for effecting sales and carrying out business transactions’ and shall not extend to the payments, such as ‘bank guarantee commission’, which are in the nature of fees for services rendered or product offered by the recipient of such payments on principal to principal basis.

Once tax has not been deducted and even if such tax has been paid by the deductee, disallowance u/s.40[a][ia] can still be made.

February 8, 2012 4087 Views 0 comment Print

ACIT vs. DICGC Ltd (ITAT Mumbai) – Sec.201 deals with the mode of recovery of taxes and once tax due has already been paid then the same demand cannot be enforced again. However, sec.40[a][ia] deals with the disallowance of expenditure itself. Therefore, merely by invoking the Heydon’s principle the statutory provisions cannot be rendered redundant. Therefore, we are of the opinion that once tax has not been deducted and even if such tax has been paid by the deductee, disallowance u/s.40[a][ia] can still be made.
