Thus we find, if the functional test for a plant enunciated by Apex Court and jurisdictional court in their decisions referred to supra is applied to the facts of the present case, we have no hesitation in holding that roads, flyovers bridges etc., constructed and owned by the assessee and utilised in its business of

Determination of ALP of an international transaction

January 4, 2010 1353 Views 0 comment Print

If we agree with this submission of the Id. A.R that as the ultimate tax liability of the assessee together with its AE does not vary even if the lower price is charged inter se, and hence the exercise done by the TPO be held as fruitless, then the provisions of section 92 to 92F would become redundant. Since the provisions require the determination of the ALP in an international transaction between the associated enterprises, it is imperative to undergo this exercise so as to prevent any loss to the coffers of India kitty. We therefore, reject this submission made on behalf of the assessee as devoid of any merit.

In penalty proceedings, assessee can always show that finding recorded in quantum proceedings is neither reliable nor sufficient to impose penalty

January 4, 2010 1942 Views 0 comment Print

On careful consideration of relevant facts, I am of the view that important fact stated by the assessee in his reply to penalty notice has not been considered in accordance with law. The revenue authority and the Tribunal in the quantum proceedings proceeded mainly on a presumption that the payment was made through account payee cheque, decided the issue against the assessee and the expenditure claimed was disallowed and added to the income of the assessee. In the penalty proceedings, which admittedly are different and separate from the assessment proceedings, the assessee was entitled to render fresh explanation and accordingly detailed reply dated 8-11-2004 was filed before the AO. In the said reply it was emphasized t

Expenditure claimed as revenue in nature is allowable U/s. 37(1) not U/s. 35AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961

January 4, 2010 1589 Views 0 comment Print

Since in the case under consideration, the expenditure claimed by the assessee is revenue in nature, therefore, the same is allowable u/s 37(1) of the Act and not u/s 35AB of the Act. The above view is supported by the fact that the Finance (No.2) Act, 1998 introduced from the asst. yr. 1999- 2000 on wards,

Live payment nexus in routing of income between employer and expatriate personnel must be established so as to attract section 163(1)(c) of Income tax Act, 1961

Section 92 of Income Tax Act,1961 not applicable to advertisement expenditure incurred by assessee, a wholly owned subsidiary of an American restaurant company in India

January 4, 2010 1730 Views 0 comment Print

In fact, the assessee has borne part of the advertisement expenditure which was to be borne in full by the Indian franchises. Hence, we are of the considered opinion that section 92 is not applicable with regard to the advertisement expenditure.

Expenditure incurred on modification and renovation of a building before commencement of business is neither allowable U/s. 30(a)(ii) nor section 37

January 4, 2010 1225 Views 0 comment Print

Hon’ble Madras High court in the case of A.Y.S. Paisutha Nadar v. CIT [1962] 46 ITR 1041 (Mad.) had held that section 10(2)(xv) of the Indian income-tax Act, 1922 [section 30(a)(ii) of 1961 Act.] relating to expenditure laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the assessee’s business, clearly indicated that the expenditure should relate to a business which is already in existence and not one that is to come into existence in the future. Hence the expenditure incurred on modifications and renovations of the building cannot be treated to have been incurred during the course of business wholly and exclusively for the purposes of business and cannot be allowed as deduction u/s 37 of the Act.
