Minimum Alternate Tax, though on the statute since practically 3 decades now, has always been a subject matter of controversy. Even after all the amendments to it over the years, most recently to align it with the Ind-AS provisions, there is still room for filling in certain gaps. This article seeks to raise certain concerns, which, hopefully, will be addressed by the Union Budget 2018.
Pest Control India Pvt Ltd vs. DCIT (ITAT Mumbai) By no stretch of imagination can Section 14A or Rule 8D be interpreted so as to mean that entire tax exempt income is to be disallowed The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Joint Investment Private Limited in ITA.No. 117/15 dated 25.02.2015 held that […]
The mechanical disallowance u/s 14A r.w. Rule 8D is also being added to the book profit by the AO irrespective of the fact whether assessee has actually debited any such expenditure in its P&L Account which is against the pronouncements given by various Judicial authorities in the recent past.
Kolkata bench of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently quashed the order passed by the lower authorities disallowing the claim of the assessee towards leave encashment for the reason that the order of the High Court invalidating Section 43(f) of the Income tax Act 1961 was not stayed by the Supreme Court.
Undisputedly the assessee has not earned any exempted income. Now it is settled position of law that whenever assessee did not earn any exempt income, no dis allowance could be made u/s. 14A of the Act.
No disallowance U/s 14A of Act need to be made by invoking the provisions of Rule 8D (2) (ii) of Rules as investments admittedly are business expediency investments and strategic investments.
Where assessee was earning exempt income and no dis allowance was made by it and AO was of view that assessee failed to prove that own funds were utilized for investment, therefore, AO proceeded to compute dis allowance of interest paid on borrowed funds, however, it ignored the interest income earned by assessee, AO was not justified since for the purpose of dis allowance net interest expenses were to be taken.
Out of these four appeals two appeals are filed by the assessee while the other two appeals are filed by the Revenue for against the orders of the Commissioner (Appeals)–4, Mumbai dated 13-2-2017 and 6-2-2017 for assessment years 2011-12 and 2012-13 respectively.
These are bunch of seven appeals filed by the assessee as well as the Revenue for assessment year 2006-07, 2007-08, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 . First we shall take up cross appeals field by the assessee as well as the Revenue in ITA 4284/Mum/2014 and 1807/Mum/2011 for assessment year ( AY ) 2006-07 respectively.
We are of the view that in the absence of any direct nexus between expenditure claim to the exempt income, the assessing officer cannot invoke the provisions of section 14A row with rule 8D(2) to disallow expenditure.
