In the instant case also services were provided by the assessee outside India and for this business the services of non-residents were utilized to whom technical fee in question was paid. No good reason could be shown by the DR as to why the aforesaid decision of the Tribunal is not applicable in the instant case and why the said decision should not be followed in the instant case. We, therefore, following the above decision, hold that the services of non-residents to whom the technical fee of Rs. 74,63,768/- was paid by the assessee were utilized for the business which was carried out outside India for earning income from a source outside India. Therefore, the grounds of appeal of the assessee are allowed.
A judgment is an authority for what it decides. It applies only to those cases in which the requisite amount of tax has been deducted at source out of payments made to the payee and thereafter deposited on or before the due date stipulated by law.
It is not in dispute that on the date the assessee deducted the tax, he had to pay/remit the money within seven days from that date and if the amount is actually paid when the credit is given, then the tax is payable within two months. Admittedly, in the instant case, the assessee did not comply with the legal requirement.
Ever since the insertion of provision of Section 40a(ia) ( “the section”)through finance act, 2004, the subject of TDS has gained a lot of momentum in terms of anxiety from general public. Non deduction or even untimely deduction of tax results to disallowance or deferment of allowance of expenditure,
It is settled principle that the deeming fiction created under any provisions of the Act cannot be imported into a beneficial provisions of the Act. In this case, the addition made on account of disallowance of expenditure is due to the deeming fiction created by the penal section 40(a)(ia) of the Act. Thus, the effect of the same cannot be imported into a beneficial provision vis-a-vis section 80-IB(10) of the Act.
As rightly submitted by the learned DR, one of the reasons given by the AO for making disallowance u/s 40(a)(ia) was that the payment of freight charges was made by the assessee on account of air fare and not shipping charges and even the said air fare was not directly paid to the airlines but the same was paid to the different parties who acted as freight booking agents.
Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act refers only to the duty to deduct tax and pay to government account. If there is any shortfall due to any difference of opinion as to the taxability of any item or the nature of payments falling under various TDS provisions, the assessee can be declared to be an assessee in default u/s. 201 of the Act and no disallowance can be made by invoking the provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of the Act.
Petition under Section 151 of CPC praying that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed herein, the High Court may be pleased to suspend the operation of the order passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Visakhapatnam Bench, Visakhapatnam, in its I.T.A.No. 477/Vizag/2008, dated. 09-04-20 12, pending ITTA.No. 384/2012 preferred to the High Court against the order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Visakhapatnam Bench, Visakhapatnam in ITA.No. 77/Vizag/2008 dated. 09- 04-2012 for the Assessment Year 2005-2006.
Even though the privity of contract may be between the assessee (whose obligation it is for the transportation of goods) and the transporter, rather, irrespective of whether the contract is between the assessee and the transporter or the principal and the transporter – the payment in either case being only in pursuance to a contract; the liability under section 194C being on the person responsible for making the payment
In our view, therefore, once the conditions of further proviso of section 194C(3) are satisfied, the liability of the payee to deduct tax at source would cease. The requirement of such payee to furnish details to the income tax authority in the prescribed form within prescribed time would arise later and any infraction in such a requirement would not make the requirement of deduction at source applicable under sub-section (2) of section 1 94C of the Act.
