ACIT (Exemptions) Vs. Andhra Cricket Association (ITAT Vishakhapatnam) The assessee is receiving grants from BCCI partly as reimbursements for various tournaments conducted by the assessee. The assessee has already constructed a stadium at Visakhapatnam suitable for conducting ‘test matches‘. During the year under consideration, the assessee has also commenced construction of stadiums at various places […]
The Hyderabad bench of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), while allowing tax exemption under section 11 of the Income Tax Act to Kalinga Cultural Trust, held that the activity of letting out of marriage hall by the assessee- trust would not constitute commercial activity for the purpose of denying tax relief to them.
Jaycees Public School Vs. ITO (ITAT Delhi) We do not find that assessee is not engaged in the educational activities as merely charging of the fees does not make it existing for the purposes of the profit.
Ahmedabad bench of the ITAT observed that the activities of the Gujarat Environment Service Society are charitable in nature. The main issue before the Tribunal was that whether the assesse is entitled for benefit of section 11(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 or not. Section 11(1)(a) is about exemptions related to charity.
Hyderabad Cricket Association is not engaged in activities in nature of trade and commerce or business and therefore, eligible to enjoy the benefit of section 11 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad bench said last week while disposing appeals filed by both HCA and the department.
CIT Vs Bharati Vidyapeeth (Bombay High Court); The only argument is, namely, if the Revenue succeeds in the Appeal challenging the order of the Tribunal restoring assessee’s registration, then it may be open for the Revenue to tax its income and by holding that both Sections 11 and 12 of the IT Act have no application […]
There is also no finding that the assessee has misused or not used the donations for any other purpose than the purpose for which they have been given i.e., for educational purpose. In such circumstances, we are of the opinion that the exemption under section 11 of the Act cannot be denied in toto to the assessee with regard to the voluntary donations received by the assessee.
It has been found that the activities of the Assessee Society, though both religious and charitable, were not exclusively meant for one particular religious community. It was, therefore, rightly not denied exemption under Section 11 of the Act.
Assessee is an association of professional and businessman to protect and promote the interest of its members. The income of the assessee is from membership fees from its members, specialized services, services and facilities, meetings, seminars and training programmes, sale of publication etc. It is also noted that the income of the assessee from other […]
Conclusion: Where assessee trust could not file audit report as its accounts having been seized were released for quite a shorter time period before filing of return, however, the audit report had been filed along with revised return filed by assessee even before last date prescribed for completion of assessment, AO was not justified in denying exemption under section 11.
