ITAT rulings clarify that deduction of tax under Section 194J does not automatically classify income as professional income under Section 44ADA.
Revenue argued that control and fixed hours created employment. The Tribunal ruled that such controls ensure discipline and contract enforcement, not employment. Result: TDS under Section 194J sustained.
The Tribunal held that discounts given to stockists in pharmaceutical distribution are part of sale transactions on a principal-to-principal basis. As no commission was paid, TDS under section 194H was held inapplicable.
Businesses are seeking a cap on dividend taxation for resident shareholders to address double taxation concerns. The proposal aims to align domestic taxation with global standards and improve investment sentiment.
The ruling clarifies that TDS must be deducted at the time of credit, even if amounts are booked as provisions. Merely claiming that no payment was made does not excuse non-deduction.
The issue was whether a deductor can be treated as in default for non-deposit of TDS when the payee has already paid tax on the income. ITAT held that no demand under Section 201(1) survives once the payee’s tax payment is established.
The ruling found that the authorities failed to examine party-wise payment limits before disallowing expenses for alleged TDS default. Key takeaway: threshold verification is essential before invoking section 40(a)(ia).
The Tribunal held that mere facilitation of third-party payments to an associated enterprise does not constitute a service. As no value addition was involved, applying a markup on reimbursements was found unsustainable.
ITAT Chandigarh held that initiation of revisionary proceeding under section 263 of the Income Tax Act for non-verification of notional interest cannot be justified since notional interest is not liable to be taxed in current year but is taxable only upon maturity hence there cannot be any evasion of tax.
