Trust Registration valid for sec. 25 Companies formed with charitable objects

January 24, 2013 2263 Views 0 comment Print

In the instant case, a perusal of the object clause of the company shows that it has been incorporated with the aim of providing education, facilitate social and economic empowerment, economic development programs, literacy programs, training programs for villagers and downtrodden people. How these objects are to be achieved should be left to the assessee. The fact that the assessee has been incorporated under section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956 show that it has been formed for promoting charity or any other useful object and intends to apply its profits, if any or other income in promoting its objects. In other words, it’s a non-profit earning organization.

Depreciation on Building used by the Assessee allowable despite non registration in his name

January 24, 2013 3574 Views 0 comment Print

Having gone through the orders of the authorities below we find that the claim of the assessee that the building in question was purchased by it and was in use for the purpose of its business was not denied by the AO. The AO has disallowed the claimed depreciation only on the basis that the building was yet to be registered in the name of the assessee company.

Warranty provisions made on scientific & Reasonable basis is allowable

January 23, 2013 2246 Views 0 comment Print

It is seen from the methodology that the assessee takes into account the warranty liability for the accounting period after bifurcating the likely cost on account of labour, material etc. The summary of the provision also shows that wherever excess provision was made in an earlier year, the same was reversed in the subsequent period.

S.194H TDS not deductible on charges for of utilization of credit card facilities

January 23, 2013 7448 Views 0 comment Print

Commission paid to the credit card companies cannot be considered as falling within the purview of S.194H.

Assessee does not have full ownership on the flats which are owned by the company. The transfer of shares was never a part of the assessment of the Stamp duty Authorities of the State Government.

January 22, 2013 1057 Views 0 comment Print

As regards the payments of Rs.20,000/- or more, the assessee has not substantiated his claim that the payments of Rs.20,000/- or more with regard to the purchases were made for Rs.20,000/- or less before the AO. It is also not on record whether such claim was actually made before the AO or not. With regard to the claim before the ld. CIT(A), all the vouchers are self made vouchers and without any authenticity of the name and complete address of the recipient. From the claim of the assessee before the ld. CIT(A), the payments are claimed to have been made on different hours on the same day and accordingly on different dates.

If ‘business income’ not taxable due to absence of PE in India, it cannot be taxed as ‘other income’

January 22, 2013 2697 Views 0 comment Print

If a certain receipt cannot be taxed under any other head, only then the sections dealing with ‘Income from Other Sources’, come into play in domestic taxation matters. Likewise, under the DTAAs, if a sum can be taxed under any other Article, provisions of Article 22 will not be applicable. We are of the opinion, in light of the earlier decisions of the Mumbai Tribunal income received by the assessee-company form McKinsey India is not to be treated as Royalty-rather it has to assessed as business income as per Article 7 of the DTAA.
