There is no manufacture in a hotel – investment allowance not allowed – Allahabad High Court

December 18, 2007 540 Views 0 comment Print

NO manufacture in a hotel – A hotel industry is in the nature of a service industry. Strictly speaking, there is no manufacture or production of any ‘article’ in this industry. Even the food items and beverages, which are prepared in a hotel are to cater to the further comfort and service of their guests and, therefore, are commonly known as ‘catering services’. So, it would be wholly fallacious to extend the meaning of the word ‘manufacture’ and production used in the section in context to such catering services in the hotel industry. The order of the Tribunal holding that the assessee is entitled for investment allowance on hotel building, is not correct.
