The reasons supplied to the assessee for reopening of the case relates mainly to Share capital, which is already been investigated by Assessing officer in detail during Original Assessment. Therefore, The present exercise of issuing the notice under Section 148 of the Act would amount to nothing but a change of opinion, which is not permissible.
Smt. B. Radha & Ors. Vs. DCIT (ITAT Hyderabad) The impugned issue to be considered is whether the reopening of assessment on the basis of so-called statement of Shri Ramalinga Raju (Satyam Computers) is warranted. As seen from the additions made, there is no live-link with the reasons recorded and the additions made. In fact, […]
We are of the considered view that assuming of jurisdiction by the AO in this case is bad in law for the reasons inter alia that when the assessee has specifically claimed exemption u/s 10BA on the sum of duty drawback of Rs.3,72,186/- and the AO after applying its mind allowed the same, there was no tenable material with the AO to reopen the assessment;
High Court held that section 10(33) provides that any income by way of (i) dividends referred to in section 115-O; or (ii) income received in respect of the units from the Unit Trust of India established under the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963; or (iii) income received in respect of units of a mutual fund specified under section 10(23D), shall be exempt from tax.
In the absence of any addition having been made on incomes which the AO had reason to believe had escaped assessment, no addition of any other income could have been made and that the AO had exceeded his jurisdiction in passing the impugned order u/s 147.
Reason for reopening of the assessment was a mistaken factual premise that the Assessee had changed the system of accounting from the mercantile to the cash system. It was more than adequately explained by the Assessee that this was an inadvertent error.
It is a settled law that reopening based on change in opinion is not permitted. In the current case, revenue does not discovered another concealed permanent establishment but wanted to link the royalty received by the Petitioner by applying the principle of force of attraction to business income of PE in India.
Delhi High Court held that It is well settled that the in a case of amalgamation, the amalgamating company would stand dissolved from the date on which the amalgamation/transfer takes effect. In a recent decision dated 3rd August, 2015 in ITA No. 475/2011 SPICE Infotainment Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax
Revenue was to initiate proceedings under Section 147 against the deceased Assessee for AY 2008-09. The limitation for issuance of the notice under Section 147/148 was 31st March 2015. On 27th March 2015, when the notice was issued, the Assessee was already dead.
It is clear that the AO did not apply his mind independently and went by the order of the CIT. It is a settled law that a quasi-judicial authority cannot afford to act on the direction and in the present case on the direction of a superior officer.
