Subash Chand Vs. ACIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- In the present case, the AO has found that the assessee has paid a sum of Rs. 27,90,000/- towards purchase of flat/plot and for meeting household expenses in the year under appeal. The assessee could not have paid the aforesaid amount without having the money with him. No material has been placed before us to establish that the assessee had actually been paid by the buyer any money over and above Rs. 8.00 lakhs or that the assessee has actually received from the buyer of the agricultural land over and above Rs. 8 lakhs.
M/s. Rudraksh Developers Vs. ITO (ITAT Ahemdabad)- The facts involved in the case of the assessee are similar to the facts in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) and accordingly we are of the view that the assessee has acquired the dominant over the land and has developed the housing project by incurring all the expenses and taking all the risks involved therein. We may mention here that, in our opinion, the decision in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) will not apply in a case where the assessee has entered into the agreement for a fixed remuneration merely as a contractor to construct or develop the housing project on behalf of the landowner.
Dy. CIT VS M/s. Divi’s Laboratories Ltd. (ITAT Hyderabad) – Section 195 of the Act has to be read along with the charging sections 4, 5 and 9 of the Act. One should not read section 195 to mean that the moment there is a remittance; the obligation to deduct TDS automatically arises. If we were to accept such contention, it would mean that on mere payment in India, income would be said to arise or accrue in India.
Mr. Isao Sakai Vs. JCIT (ITAT Delhi) Tax paid by the employer on behalf of the employee is perquisite and can not be included in salary for valuation of concessional accommodation / Rent- Free House Property etc.
Madhukar Vinayak Dhavale Vs. ITO, International taxation (ITAT Pune)- An individual who leaves India as a crew member of an Indian ship will be a non-resident if his stay in India is less than 182 days in the tax year.The assessee has not produced any evidence to support his claim that he stayed outside India for the purpose of employment beyond 158 days.
ACIT vs. Maersk Global Service Center (ITAT Mumbai) -The Special Bench of the Tribunal in Mahindra & Mahindra Limited Vs. DCIT [(2009) 122 TTJ (Mum.) (SB) 577] has laid down the proposition to the effect that the Departmental Representative has no jurisdiction to go beyond the order passed by the A.O. It has further been observed in this case that the scope of argument of the Departmental Representative should be confined to supporting ordefending the impugned order and he cannot be permitted to set up an altogether different case.
Nimbus Sport International Pte. Ltd. v. DDIT (ITAT Delhi) -Coming to the issue about the advertisement revenue received by the assessee in Singapore for matches played abroad, it has not been disputed that the matches in question for which advertisements were given by the Indian company were all played in foreign countries. The assessee does not have a PE in India. In this eventuality, the revenue collected by it for the matches played overseas and telecast at overseas will not attract the theory of force of attraction for taxing them in India.
DCIT vs. M/s Calcutta Test House Pvt. Ltd. (ITAT Delhi) – Non-resident lessor does not have PE or business connection in India on account of leased assets used in India but delivered outside India, provided the lease agreement is entered on principle to principle basis.
ACIT vs. Smith & Newphew Healthcare (P) Ltd. (ITAT Mumbai) – As rightly held by the CIT(A), the requirement of law is that the Assessee has to “keep and maintain” information and documents in respect of international transaction entered into with AE. Rule 1OD(4) of the Rules envisages that the information and documents specified under sub-rules (1) and (2) should, as far as possible, be contemporaneous and should exist latest by the specified date referred to in clause (iv) of section 92F, which is due date for filing return of income u/s. 139(1) of the Act.
SKIL Infrastructure Ltd. Vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai)- The nature of arrangement entered by the appellant for transportation of its employees between residence to office is similar to the arrangement mentioned in the circular No. 558, dated 28th March 1990, issued by the CBDT regarding the applicability of the provisions of section 194C of the Act to the hire charges paid to bus owners. Apartment from this, other circulars (ie., circular number 681 dated March, 8, 1994, circular No. 713 dated August 2, 1995 and circular number 715 dated August 8, 1995) have specifically provided that the provisions of section 1 94C of the Act shall apply in case where bus or any other mode of transport is chartered. Based on the reading of the circulars, I am of the opinion that payments made by the appellant are of similar nature and hence tax should be deductible under section 1 94C of the Act;
