Therefore, ALP has to be seen only with regard to international transaction with A.Es and not on the entire turnover/sales.

TP – Super profit companies cannot be considered as comparable

December 1, 2012 939 Views 0 comment Print

Working given by the TPO shows that it is earning 7% commission, whereas as per the industry policy as decided by the AAAI the service on media agency earns commission of 2.5%. On that reason also, since it is an extreme case of earning 7% commission (in our view it is wrongly considered), on the principles that the extreme profit companies are to be excluded, this company cannot be considered as comparable for the purpose of arriving at the average mean.

November 30, 2012 2838 Views 0 comment Print

Where there was difference of amount in question somewhere as per cash in hand as per books of account and lesser cash as per seized documents, it would also not suffice to make addition under section 68 or 69A because every person is at liberty to spend their own amount anywhere as per his choice and assessee had not claimed any deduction in this case. Examining the case of assessee from every possible angle, addition of Rs.37,30,710/- was wholly unjustified.
