Finance Act’2017 had made some major changes relating to Charitable and religious trusts. In this Article we have discussed five major amendments which are affecting Charitable and religious trusts.
Vidya Bharati Society for Education & Scientific Advancement Vs ACIT (ITAT Kolkata) Merely because the contributions from students were collected under the nomenclature of development fee cannot ipso facto lead to conclusion that it cannot be considered to be corpus contribution. It is true that in terms of section 12(1) read with section 11(1)(d) of […]
Section 2(15) defines Charitable Purpose and sections 11, 12, 12A, 12AA and 13 of the Income –tax Act, are the main sections that deal with scheme of taxation exemption in respect of income of charitable or religious trusts/institution.
There was no provision in the Income-tax Act which ensured that the corpus and asset base of the trust accreted over period of time, with promise of it being used for charitable purpose, continues to be utilized for charitable purposes and is not used for any other purpose.
This article brings out the contradiction over the intention and implementation of amendment in section 11 so as to bring the disallowances u/s 40A(3) and section 40(a)(ia) in computation of income of the Trusts or other institutions claiming exemption u/s 11
DCIT-Exemptions Vs Naroda Enviro Projects Ltd. (ITAT Ahmedabad) We find that main object of assessee company was converted as per Section 25 of Companies Act clarifies that assessee company is in area of environmental protection, abetment of pollution of water, air, solid, etc. generated by industrial units in and around Vatva and Odhav area of […]
In order to decide whether the assessee is entitled to the benefit of the exemption under Section 11, it is necessary for the Tribunal to determine whether it satisfy the requirement of Section 11 (4A).
The issue under consideration is whether denial of the exemption under section 11/12 due to various discrepancies found in verification of unsecured loans is justified in law?
Inter-trust donation by one charitable trust to another for utilization by the donee trust towards charitable objects was proper application of income for charitable purpose in the hands of donee trust and it would not affect the exemption claimed by assessee u/s 11 in any manner whatsoever nor inter-trust donation could be termed as deviation from its objects .
The income from non-members was offered to tax by assessee, whereas membership fee from its own members was claimed as exempt on the principle of mutuality. Assessee being a trade association of software industries, it’s main object is to promote and protect the interest of its members. Membership received from its own members came within the principle of mutuality. Once assessee is governed by principle of mutuality, even if there are difference class of members, some of whom are not entitled to vote, the club would not be cease to be governed by principle of mutuality.
