The people of the largest democracy in India, expected in the Union Budget 2018 to introduce some amendments to section 14A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Act), to reduce tax litigations on account of section 14A and to bring in certainty and clarity in the disallowance under Section 14A.
Pr. CIT Vs. Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd. (Bombay High Court) The assessing officer did not specifically record that he is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respect of the expenditure in relation to the income which does not form part of the total income under the Act. However, […]
Belated cross-objections– by over four years, in the opinion of the Court, meant that the appellants were seeking to rake up stale issues for which they had accepted the finality as regards their tax liability.
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.
