No disallowance U/s. 10A for mere higher profits if the same is not found to be for tax avoidance

January 31, 2013 1014 Views 0 comment Print

Since the assessee’s operations are efficient enough to obtain more profits and since the receipts are at arm’s length and there is no passing of excess profits by the parent company (AE) to the assessee, the Assessing Officer’s action in restricting the profits is not correct. Also there is no reason to restore it to the Assessing Officer since there is nothing else to examine. Accordingly, grounds of the assessee are allowed and the Assessing Officer is directed to treat the profits declared by the assessee as ordinary profits and allow deduction under section 10A, without any further adjustment.

January 31, 2013 726 Views 0 comment Print

In initial years the assessee had lesser requirement of these spools as the business was in the process of being established and stabilized. The system of collecting these spools also had to be put in place and stabilized to ensure its supply on a sustained basis. The system adopted by the TPO to allocate indirect expenses on the basis of turnover in initial assessment years was not justified. There was nothing on record to suggest any indirect expenses for determining the ALP of export of spools. Accordingly, the Commissioner (Appeals) was not justified in restricting the addition to Rs. 5,07,651 as there was no element of indirect cost involved.
