ITAT explains Law on taxation under DTAAs of transparent entities & Representative Assesseess

December 9, 2019 3771 Views 0 comment Print

The principle emerging out of this analysis of legal position is that when an assessee is a representative assessee of a tax transparent entity, it is the status of beneficiaries or constituents of tax transparent entities which is relevant for the purpose of determining treaty protection. Viewed thus, this is beyond doubt that the income in question has actually accrued to the taxable entities on the Netherlands, which, according to the approach adopted by the Assessing Officer, is sine qua non for tax treaty protection.

Section 54 deduction cannot be denied for claiming under Section 54F

December 6, 2019 1713 Views 0 comment Print

If that is the case, the deduction claimed by the assessee should have been allowed under the correct provision. Merely because the assessee has claimed deduction under section 54F of the Act, by treating the flat as a commercial property, assessee’s claim of deduction under section 54 of the Act cannot be disallowed if the assessee fulfills the conditions of section 54 of the Act.

Conversion of limited scrutiny to comprehensive scrutiny without prior approval of competent authority is invalid

December 5, 2019 2076 Views 0 comment Print

Property used for business cannot be treated as vacant for section 23

December 5, 2019 4800 Views 0 comment Print

We are of the view that the company having occupied the property for its own purposes, no notional rent can be added. It may be germane to mention here that this is the only property owned and occupied by the assessee as its registered office. It is not the case of the AO that the assessee company was having some other premises to have its office. A company having been incorporated is legally required to have its registered office irrespective of the fact whether during the year it has carried on any activity or not.
