Tax is not deductible at source in respect of all payments to non-residents

April 9, 2008 954 Views 0 comment Print

It has been held in the aforesaid judgements that it is not open to a person making payments to a non-resident to take a unilateral decision that the payments made by him are not sums chargeable to tax. To take that view, concurrence of the Assessing Officer as provided in section 195(2) is sine qua non. For reaching the aforesaid conclusion, the judgement of the Supreme Court in Transmission Corporation of A.P. Ltd. Vs. CIT [1999] 239 ITR 587 (S.C.) has also been invoked.

Amendments in STT that don’t measure up

April 7, 2008 1078 Views 0 comment Print

The Securities Transaction Tax (STT) was introduced into the income-tax code by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004, taking effect from April 1, 2005. It was expected to give a major boost to both the income-tax department in terms of revenue and the equity market. When STT was paid on share transactions, no liability for long-term capital gains tax arose. Short-term capital gains were taxed at 10 per cent if STT was paid. This was the position till March 31, 2008.

Merely because income is attached to any immovable property cannot be the sole factor for assessment of such income as income from property. What has to be seen is what was the primary object of the assessee while exploiting the property.

There is no provision in the Income-tax Act which permits the allowance of a loss which was suffered by an assessee to be adjusted and set off or deducted from the profits of another assessee
