30. In our opinion, the assessee must succeed on his Ground. There is no dispute about the fact that the assessee being an employer made the valuation of the perquisite provided to Mr. Brian Brown at Rs. 90,40,880/-. The definition of the salary is given in section 17 of the Act and as per the said definition salary includes perquisites. The perquisites in its normal meaning means direct and indirect benefits
The Delhi Income-Tax Tribunal has held that valuation of perquisite determined by the assessee relying on interpretation of Taxman’s Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner, the assessee could not be deemed to be an assessee-in-default and consequently, interest under section 201(1A) could not be levied though the valuation methodology was held not justified.
IN a remarkably interesting ruling, involving the IT giant Infosys Technologies, the Apex Court has held that every benefit received by a person is not taxable as income unless the Legislature makes the same taxable. For period prior to 2000, there were no provisions in the Income Tax Act to tax ESOPs. As regards the TDS, it noted that ESOPs were not taxable during the lock-in period as the value of non-transferable shares (perquisite) was not ascertainable. As regards the Clause (iiia) of Sec 17 the SC held that it was not clarificatory as argued by the Revenue and very much prospective if one goes by the wordings used in the Clause and the explanatory memorandum of the Finance Act, 1999.

TAXING rent from house property has always been a taxing issue for the Income Tax Department. In the latest case the Revenue wanted to tax notional interest income on refundable interest-free deposit made by the tenant with the landlord u/s 28(iv) but the High Court has dismissed the same as the relevant Section 23(1)(a) does not contemplate taxing such income. The HC also observed that in a taxing statute it would be unsafe for the Court to go beyond the letter of the law and try to read into the provision more than what is already provided for.
