TAX is payable on import of all software , even if the sale does not involve exercise of copyright, according to a Delhi tax tribunal order in a case relating to Microsoft . While the order, passed on October 28, is significant in terms of the liability to withold tax from payments made while importing software, the Delhi Income-Tax Appellate Order (ITAT) attracted the attention of tax professionals on account of its observation that questioned the sanctity of tax treaties.
The matter is heard behind the back of the assessee or his advocate which, ultimately, leads to unsustainable order. It generates litigation either in the same Court by way of rectification application or in the higher Court. In order to avoid this situation, it is desirable to direct the appellant or parties to the appeal to amend cause title of the appeal memo in the event of change of address followed by amendment in column 10 of Form No.36; instead of permitting the parties to enter into the correspondence with the registry of the Tribunal.
(a)Expenses incurred in foreign currency on onsite computer software development at the client’s place outside India should be excluded from export turnover; and (b)Export proceeds utilized outside India for expenses relating to exports should be excluded from export turnover as a non-qualifying export turnover.
Payment has been made for architectural consultancy in connection with forging shed, lab construction and site visits. Thus the services were clearly linked towards activity in capital field. Even the consultants bill has been made. by narrating that ‘assuming total cost of civil works 20 lacs @ 3% = Rs. 60,000/-. On this amount service tax has been added. Thus we find that authorities below are correct in holding that this expenditure falls in the capital field. Excise duty and sales tax cannot form part of the turnover for the purposes of section 80HHC. Section 80HHC is governed by section 80AB and unabsorbed losses of earlier years u/s 72 have to be set off in computing eligible profits for the purposes of section 80HHC.
The law laid down in the Dilip Sheroff case as to the meaning of word ‘concealment’ and ‘inaccurate’ continues to be a good law because what was overruled in the Dharmender Textile case was only that part in Dilip Sheroff case where it was held that mensrea was a essential requirement of penalty u/s 271(1)(c). The Hon’ble Apex Court also observed that if the contention of the revenue is accepted then in case of every return where the claim is not accepted by the AO for any reason, the assessee will invite the penalty u/s 271(1)(c). This is clearly not the intendment of legislature
Recently, the Mumbai Bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal) in the case of Cheminova India Ltd Vs ACIT, Mumbai (ITA No. 4865/Mum/05) [13 ITAT INDIA 240 (Mum)]., accepted higher price paid to its Associated Enterprises (AEs) (as compared to unrelated parties) under Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) Method to be the arm’s length price (ALP) based on the economic and commercial justification.
Bangalore bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal) in the case of ACIT v. K. Mohan & Co.(Exports) (P.) Ltd [2010] 130 TTJ 719 (Bang) held that that profits earned from forward contracts cannot be included in the profits of the business of the undertaking for the purpose of computing deduction under Section 10B of the Income-tax Act, 1961(the Act) .
The Delhi bench of Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal) in the case of DDIT v. Virage Logic International (ITA No. 494(Del) 2010) held that transfer of a computer software by an Indian branch of a foreign company [approved as 100 percent Export Oriented Unit (EOU) by Software Technology Parks of India (STPI)] to its head office is a transaction eligible for claiming tax benefits under section 1 0A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act).
In the case of Vikas Road Carriers Ltd. v. ITO [2010-TIOL-417-ITAT-MUM] the Mumbai Bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (“the Tribunal”), ruled that, in light of the very typical facts of the case, no disallowance could be made under section 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (“the Act”), for non-withholding of tax since the payments to the transporters were less than Rs. 20,000 each, and less than Rs. 50,000 in a year to any party and hence did not attract the withholding tax provisions of section 194C of the Act. The Tribunal relied very heavily on the fact that while the assessee had given details of expenses incurred, the revenue authorities were unable to dispute the assessee’s statement that the expenses in question did not exceed the limit of Rs. 20,000 per payment, and Rs. 50,000 per payee per year.
