SBS Clothing (P) Ltd. Vs. DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) – In this case, there was 5-fold increase on account of payment of salary when there was no substantial increase in the turnover. The AO vide note dated 25.10.2007 had asked for reasons for exorbitant rise in salary to which assessee filed letter dated 19.11.2003 replied that the same was because of payment made to job workers in the earlier years whereas in the current year job workers had been taken on salary basis and salary had been paid to them.
ACIT Vs Bharat Oman Refineries Limited (ITAT Mumbai) – So far as the receipts on account of tender forms and by way of water and electricity charges to the contractors were concerned, they would not be treated as arising out of a source of income separate from the business which was being set up. Since, the business had not been fully set up, the receipts and payments would be clearly on capital account and hence not liable to tax. In a case where these receipts and payments pertains to the fixed structure of the company’s business that was being set up, it would be inconsistent to hold that the expenditure incurred by the assessee prior to the setting up would be of a capital nature but the receipts would be of a revenue nature.Hence, the impugned receipts were of a capital nature and were not liable to tax.
In our considered opinion, the authorities below were not justified in not granting the set off of the brought forward business loss for the reason that the requirement to file return within the time prescribed u/s.139(1) is for carrying forward the loss. Once loss is determined in the return file u/s.139(3), the assessee becomes eligible for set off against the income of the subsequent years irrespective of the fact whether the returns of such later years are filed u/s.139(1) or not. Sec. 80 read with sec. 139(3) requires the submission of return for loss before the due date.
Shri Ram S Sarda Vs DCIT (ITAT Rajkot)- ITAT, Mumbai Bench in the case of Sudhakar M Shetty vs ACIT held that the department has to adjust the seized amount towards the advance-tax from the date when it was seized and accordingly directed the assessing officer to adjust the seized cash from the date of seizure. In the case under consideration we find that the assessee claimed adjustment of seized cash in the return of income filed by the assessee.
DCIT vs. M/s. S. K. Tekriwal (ITAT Kolkata) – In the present case before us the assessee has deducted tax u/s. 194C(2) of the Act being payments made to sub-contractors and it is not a case of non-deduction of tax or no deduction of tax as is the import of section 40a(ia) of the Act. But the revenue’s contention is that the payments are in the nature of machinery hire charges falling under the head ‘rent’ and the previous provisions of section 194I of the Act are applicable. According to revenue, the assessee has deducted tax @ 1% u/s. 194C(2) of the Act as against the actual deduction to be made at 10% u/s. 194I of the Act, thereby lesser deduction of tax.
Madhya Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd. (ITAT Ahmedabad)- Section 192(3) of the Act enables the employer to make adjustment of any excess or deficiency arising out of previous deduction or failure to deduct during the tax year. If there are bona fide reasons for short deduction in the earlier months and the same is made good immediately […]
