February 6, 2017 2889 Views 0 comment Print

Respectfully following the aforesaid judicial precedents and in the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, we hold that the ld CITA had rightly classified the assessee as an investor and treated the gains received on sale of shares and mutual funds as short term capital gains as against business income and granted relief to the assessee.

February 6, 2017 6396 Views 0 comment Print

It was, therefore, contended that assessee was not liable to pay advance tax on 15/9/2011 and 15/12/2011 as the receipt of gift was not estimable at the relevant point of time.

Where assessee paid amount to deliveryman to deliver the newspapers and delivery persons were nothing but casually engaged labourers and they have no other work to perform and assessee had wrongly debited the amount as commission in its books, AO was not justified in making dis allowance under section 40(a)(ia) for no TDS by only giving weight age to nomenclature and without seeing the real purpose for payment.

TDS is deductible as per nature of services and not on the basis of number of recipients
