Where insufficient details were furnished to prove justification of applicability of CUP method, matter required fresh adjudication

October 1, 2012 792 Views 0 comment Print

This issue is well established that determination of ALP can be made only with regard to international transactions of the assessee with its AE and it cannot be extended to international transaction of the assessee with its Non-AEs. Therefore, the ALP can be worked out only with respect to international transaction of the assessee with its AE. If it is so, it just and proper to restore this issue to the file of Assessing Officer with a direction to verify the calculations submitted by the assessee after giving the assessee reasonable opportunity of hearing and if the aforementioned calculations are correct then the difference being within the safe harbour of +/- 5 per cent, no addition with regard to ALP should be made.

Value recorded in registered sale deed cannot be sole basis for determining FMV

September 28, 2012 5513 Views 0 comment Print

Consideration as shown in the Registered Sale Deed cannot be equated with ‘Fair Market Value’, as defined in the Act u/s 2(22B) of the Act. /Therefore, adoption of average value of land at Rs. 27,030/- per acre as on 1.4.1981, as ‘Fair Market Value’ of the land in question, for the purpose of computation of capital gains, is not legally and factually tenable. ‘Fair Market Value’ represents the price that a seller is willing to accept and a buyer is willing to pay in the open market. The price or sale consideration as specified in the Registered Sale Deed of an asset in India represents the price or sale consideration negotiated or determined not in the open market but in the parallel operating market where such transactions crystallized in a clandestine manner. In view of this, sale consideration of an asset, as recorded in the Registered Sale Deed is generally understated and, hence, cannot he taken as ‘Fair Market Value’ as on 1.4.1981 for the purpose of computation of ‘Capital Gains’.
