Vision EL Tech & Services (P.) Ltd. Vs DCIT (ITAT Bangalore) From the details filed it is observed that there are several instances of fresh investment as well as sale of investment in shares, evidencing frequent movement in the assessee’s investment portfolio and accordingly it cannot be accepted that no expenditure has been incurred by […]
The object behind the introduction of Section 14A of the Act by the Finance Act of 2001 is clear and unambiguous. The legislature intended to check the claim of allowance of expenditure incurred towards earning exempted income in a situation where an assessee has both exempted and non-exempted income or includible or non-includible income.
Since, no specific format is provided under the Act for recording satisfaction for making dis allowance under section 14A, AO was not required to give detailed reasons for invocation of rule 8D(2) in view of the fact that assessee failed to discharge its primary onus of proving nexus between interest-free funds and the investments yielding tax- free income.
In this case basic issue to be decided was about the interest payment made by the partnership firm to the partners in light of the provisions of section 14A read with rule 8D of the Rules.
Assessing Officer to compute the disallowance as per Rule 8D by taking into consideration only those shares, which have yielded dividend income in the year under consideration.
ITAT followed Delhi High Court in Cheminvest and held that, unless during the relevant previous year, assessee earns any exempt income no disallowance under section 14A r/w rule 8D can be made.
Under sub-section (2) of Section 14A of the Act, the Assessing Officer is required to examine the accounts of the assessee and only when he is not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of the assessee in respect of expenditure in relation to exempt income,
If tax exempted income was earned without interference of any employee but rather through solicitation and advertisement of bank the question of attributing any expenditure cannot arise at all.
