Book profits law gets stringent

January 5, 2008 498 Views 0 comment Print

In the Bank of India case, the Authority for Advance Ruling pointed out that the section levying MAT should be considered a self-contained code. It should prevail over the other provisions of the I-T Act. The Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) has been in vogue intermittently for nearly 20 years. It has undergone several changes in structure. But the basic principle remains the same. The idea is that every company with ability to pay should contribute to the exchequer even though it may not show taxable income because of tax concessions and incentives utilised.

Capital gains of non-residents from Indian assets

December 20, 2007 1764 Views 0 comment Print

The Income-Tax Act extends to the whole of India, that is, the territory of India mentioned in the Constitution and the territorial waters, continental shelf, etc (Section 2(25A) of the Income-Tax Act, 1961). If two persons who are residing outside India and are not Indian citizens, enter into transactions covering property in India, will they be affected by the provisions of our tax law? This is not an academic issue. The matter came up before the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) last month.

By its very nature, the power to rectify a mistake would not result in the recall and review of the order sought to be rectified.

December 20, 2007 2427 Views 0 comment Print

Under section 254(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Tribunal has the power to rectify mistakes in its order. However, the power to rectify a mistake is not equivalent to a power to review or recall the order sought to be rectified. Rectification is a species of the larger concept of review. Although it is possible that the prerequisite for exercise of either power may be similar to rectifying a mistake apparent from the record, by its very nature, the power to rectify a mistake would not result in the recall and review of the order sought to be rectified. This was held by the Delhi High Court in C.I.T. v Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages P Ltd (293 I.T.R. 163).
