The court examined whether withholding tax could be imposed solely on the basis of an alleged virtual service permanent establishment. It ruled that such a concept is not recognised under the DTAA and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.
The court held that exporters cannot be denied Section 80HHC benefits merely for lack of a consolidated BRC. Consignment-wise bank certificates are sufficient if available on record.
The Court found that statutory notices were properly issued but went unanswered by legal heirs. To balance equities, the assessment was quashed and remitted subject to a 20% pre-deposit of disputed tax excluding interest.
The tribunal held that reassessment initiated through a jurisdictional officer instead of the mandatory faceless mechanism was invalid. Notices under Section 148 issued after 01.04.2021 must follow the faceless scheme, failing which the entire assessment collapses.
Expanded grounds for cancellation now include legal non-compliance and incorrect disclosures. Trusts must treat accuracy and governance as mission-critical.
The Court ruled that omission to issue Section 143(2) vitiates reassessment at the root. Such a defect cannot be cured, even if the return is alleged to be defective.
The Court held that Section 197 applications cannot be rejected mechanically to “protect revenue.” Mandatory factors under Rule 28AA, including past assessments and liabilities, must be examined before directing withholding.
The High Court held that long-held, undeveloped land sold by the assessee gave rise to capital gains. Intention, holding period, and conduct outweighed Revenue assumptions.
The Court ruled that Section 17A lawfully requires prior approval before investigating decisions taken in official capacity. It clarified that the provision balances anti-corruption enforcement with protection against vexatious probes.
The Supreme Court held that gains arising from the sale of shares of a foreign company deriving substantial value from Indian assets are taxable in India. The ruling confirms that indirect transfer provisions override treaty claims when Indian assets are the real source of value.
