Infosys case – SC rules every benefit is not taxable as income;

January 10, 2008 4669 Views 0 comment Print

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.

Landlord takes refundable interest-free deposit from tenant – Income Tax wants to tax notional interest

December 20, 2007 1634 Views 0 comment Print

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.
