August 21, 2007 4023 Views 0 comment Print

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?

Invocation of powers u/s 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961

August 20, 2007 37921 Views 0 comment Print

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.

Income realised from sub-lessee is to be assessed under Head ‘Other Sources’

August 11, 2007 636 Views 0 comment Print

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.

Tax paid by the company is part and parcel of the salary and not any sum outside the salary or independent of salary

April 9, 2007 1335 Views 0 comment Print

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.
