Transfer pricing Audit due date for corporate assesses extended to 30th November- Budget 2011-12. Section 139 of the Income-tax Act stipulates 30th September of the assessment year as the due date for filing of return of income in case of corporate assessees. In addition to filing a return of income, assessees who have undertaken international transactions are also required (under the provisions of section 92E) to prepare and file a transfer pricing report in Form 3CEB before the due date for filing of return of income.
ITAT Practice Note on Change of Address of assessee-In Jagjivandas Nandlal vs. ITAT 236 CTR 274, the Bombay High Court requested the President of the Tribunal to consider make it compulsory for assessees to amend Form 36 for change of address instead of merely intimating vide letter. The Tribunal has now issued the following practice note:
Eveready Industries India Ltd Vs CIT, Kolkata (Dated: March 04, 2011)- Income Tax – Sections 10(33), 14A, 94(7) – Whether dividend stripping is allowable – Whether a premeditated transaction by virtue of which an assessee earns tax free income and squares off profits with losses is permissible if it is within the four corners of law. – Assessee’s appeal allowed: CALCUTTA HIGH COURT;
In these appeals filed by the revenue, the only question raised is whether the assessees are entitled to deduction under Section 80HHC in the computation of book profit under Section 11 5JB of the Income Tax Act. Even though in respect of one assessee, the provision involved is Section 11 5JA, there is no need to consider the issue separately because applicability of Section 80HHC in the computation of book profit is one and the same both under Section 11 5JA and 11 5JB of the Act. CIT vs. Packworth Udyog (Kerala High Court – Full Bench)
“ On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the Ld. CIT(A) erred in directing the A.O. to accept the claim of Short Term Capital Gain and Long Term Capital Gain on profit arriving from purchase & sale of shares instead of business income treated by the A.O. without appreciating the fact that the assessee is dealing in large volume of shares, most of the shares are bought and sold within short period, while some are not sold due to market conditions and their holding with assessee remains beyond few days, it will not change the nature of transactions and the assessee is very well engaged in the business of share trading, which denote that the motive of the assessee is to carry on business in shares to book profit rather than investment in shares.”
Padam Prakash (HUF) vs. ITO (ITAT Delhi Special Bench). If the application filed by the assessee is viewed in the light of aforementioned judicial pronouncements, then it will become clear that the relief which is being sought by the assessee by way of impugned rectification application is not legally tenable for the reason that the Tribunal has no power to adjudicate upon subsequent application filed u/s 254(2). Here, it may be the case of the assessee that earlier order against which impugned rectification application is filed is also an order passed on subsequent application, then the only course permissible to the assessee is to file an appeal against that order and not to approach the Tribunal to contend that the said order was an invalid order, therefore it should be recalled.
Describing the committed taxpayers as engines of economy, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today exhorted the young IRS probationers to treat them as their clients and not as adversaries. The assessee is no longer considered an adversary, committed taxpayers are the engines of our economy and therefore important clients of Revenue Department, Mukherjee said, while addressing the Indian Revenue Services (IRS) probationers at Parliament House complex here.

NOTIFICATION NO. 12/2011 [F.NO. 142/20/2010-SO (TPL)], DATED 25-2-2011. In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (ii) in the Explanation to clause (d) of the proviso to clause (5) of section 43 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), read with rule 6DDB of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, the Central Government hereby notifies the United Stock Exchange of India Limited as a recognized stock exchange for the purpose of the said clause with effect from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette.
Under the existing provisions contained in section 115R(2) of the Income-tax Act, a Mutual Fund is liable to pay additional income-tax on the amount of income distributed to its unit holders. It is proposed to levy additional income-tax at a higher rate of 30 per cent. on income distributed by debt funds to a person other than an individual or HUF.
Senior Citizens should be a happy lot after the Budget. After meeting their long-standing demand of making 60 as the defining age of senior citizens, the finance minister has also introduced a special category — ‘very-senior’ — for citizens over the age of 80, perhaps in tune with the rising life expectancy. The basic exemption limit for this new category will be Rs 5 lakh (Rs 500,000), double than that for senior citizens.
