Case Law Details
FMI Automotive Components Pvt. Ltd. Vs DCIT (ITAT Delhi)
Sale of asset is not part of regular revenue operation in the case of the assessee and, therefore, profit generated on same cannot be part of revenue operation of the assessee. In our opinion, the Learned DRP has correctly held the profit on sale of a set as non-operative item. As far as the depreciation on operative expense is concerned, the learned DRP has held to be operative in view of assets used for the purpose of the business, and thus depreciation is part of expenditure connected with business operation of the assessee. The depreciation is also justified as operating expense, because profit earned on employing the tools in the business is part of profit earned on manufacturing process which is part of operating revenue. We do not find any error in the order of the Learned DRP on the issue and accordingly, we reject this contention of the assessee to refer this matter back to the learned TPO.
Depreciation expense to be considered as operating & revenue generated from non-routine business operations to be considered as non-operating in nature in transfer pricing calculations for taxpayers as well as comparable companies.
