Interest paid on the capital borrowed for the acquisition of an asset cannot be allowed as a revenue expenditure

January 21, 2008 39200 Views 0 comment Print

Even a conjoint reading of Section 36(1)(iii) as existing prior to the proviso thereto and Section 43(1) explanation 8 clearly shows that any interest paid on the capital borrowed for the acquisition of an asset cannot be allowed as a revenue expenditure. The capital might have been borrowed by an assessee for the purpose of business. However, once it is admitted that a part thereof was used by the assessee for the purpose of acquisition of an asset, which is not in the form of replacement or modernization the interest component thereon upto the date it is first put to use has to be dealt with in terms of provisions of Section 43 (1) explanation 8 as otherwise cost of the asset shown in the balance sheet will not depict its true picture. This is in conformity with law and the accounting principles.

Since excise duty and sales tax did not involve any such turnover such taxes had to be excluded. Commission, interest, rent, etc. do yield profits, but they do not partake of the character of turnover and therefore they are not includible in the total turnover. If so, excise duty and sales tax also cannot form part of the total turnover under section 80HHC(3).
