The learned D.R has vehemently contended before us that no assessee can be said to be providing telecommunication services unless such services are provided from one end to the other end. According to him, the assessee is operating as backbone industry and connect the calls received through other service providers and, therefore, does not provide any service to the actual user of the phone. In my opinion, this contention cannot be accepted for the reason that legislature itself has allowed the deduction to telecommunication services through satellite or turnking network.
An Indian company engaged in computer software business set up a trading office in Japan. The company’s Japan branch suffered loss, which it claimed as deduction from profits earned in India. The assessing officer, however, held that since the profits of the trading office are taxable in Japan only, any loss incurred by the firm in respect of its trading office is not allowable as deduction from the income which is taxable in India.
Assessing Officer reopened the assessment of A.Y. 1997-98 on the basis of finding that the assessee had not paid tax on the income declared under VDIS, 97 and made the addition of income declared year-wise under VDIS as unexplained investment. It was held that the addition was not justified as the alleged investments were not made in the immediate preceding financial year to the assessment year under consideration.
YOU are liable to deduct TDS. By a mistaken understanding, you deduct less TDS than what was required to be deducted. However the deductee pays the correct Income Tax. Can the Department demand the TDS again from you? Logic would say, NO, but logic and tax don’t always go together and you need the Supreme Court to tell you that on the same income, you cannot levy tax twice.
TAXING a non-resident has always been challenging, and wherever possible the law has provided adequate safeguard for the Revenue. That is how Sec 163 came into being. The issue here is: If a non-resident is assessed independently, can its agent in India be also assessed as Representative Assessee for the same income u/s 163?
Sec.263 is the revisionary power of Commissioner which is to be invoked where the order of A.O. is erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of revenue but all errors and loss of revenue don’t allow for invocation of Sec.263 but in circumstances as discussed above. In case there are two views on an issue and A.O. takes one of the views leading to loss of revenue, it will not lead to an erroneous decision calling for invocation of Sec.263. The circumstances as laid out in the Malabar case is an important pointer and basis for action u/s 263.
The assessee’s contention that above income is to be assessed under the head other sources as he is not owner of the premises, is well taken and is required to be accepted. There is no question of estimating annual letting value of the property. It is to be assessed as per agreement between the parties under the head other sources. The Revenue authorities were not justified in assessing rental income under the head house property. On facts of the case, we direct the AO to take assessee’s rental income under the head other sources. The assessee would also be entitled to consequential relieves under the law. This ground of appeal of the assessee is accepted.
1.Whether deduction for tax, duty etc. is allowable u/s. 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, on payment basis before incurring the liability to pay such amounts? The deduction for tax, duty etc. is allowable u/s. 43B of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on payment basis before incurring the liability to pay such amount. 2.Whether Modvat Credit available to the assessee as on the last day of the previous year amounts to payment of Central Excise duty u/s. 43B?
The tax paid by the company was part and parcel of the salary and not any sum outside the salary or independent of salary. Thus, the tax liability of the assessee was nothing but the salary and not anything outside it. Therefore, this payment of tax on behalf of the assessee will be monetary payment. In view thereof, the provision contained in section 10(10CC) is not applicable for the reason that like salary, this payment is also a monetary payment forming part of the salary.
JCIT Vs Mukund Limited (ITAT Mumbai) – The consideration of Rs.2.04 crores paid by the assessee company for obtaining the leasehold rights from MIDC in favour of the assessee for a period of 99 years is capital in nature and therefore, not allowable as deduction to the assessee.
