The assessee made payments to sub-contractors during the previous year and though s. 194C requires TDS at the stage of payment/credit, did not do so. The tax was, however, deducted on 31st March and paid over in Sept before the due date for filing the return. The AO took the view that while the payment made to the sub-contractor for March was allowable, the payments for the earlier months was disallowable u/s 40(a)(ia).
The Interest Tax Act, 1974 specifically includes discounting charges in the definition of interest, however interest defined under ITA does not include discounting charges. Wherever the legislature was conscious of the fact that even the discount of bills of exchange is to be included within the definition of interest, the same was basically so provided for, hence the omission of these words in the definition provided under the ITA, enumerates the intention of the legislator to keep the same out of the ambit of „interest? under the ITA. The same rationale is also laid down in the Circular no. 652 issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes in relation to section 1 94A of ITA.
As per existing provision, in case of TDS deducted as per Chapter XVII-B but the payment of the same not deposited with the Government within due date of section 139(1) for the last month of the previous year and within the last day of the financial year for the first eleven months, results in the disallowance of such expenses, the same not being an amount deductible as an expense.
As per existing provisions of Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act, certain payments made to residents were not allowable as deduction where tax was not deducted or after deduction, was not paid before end of the year. In case where the tax was deducted in the last month of the year, then no disallowance u/s. 40(a)(ia) would be made, so long as the tax was deducted during the year and paid before the due date of filing the return of income.
“Provided that where in respect of any such sum, tax has been deducted in any subsequent year, or has been deducted during the previous year but paid after the due date specified in subsection (1) of section 139, such sum shall be allowed as a deduction in computing the income of the previous year in which such tax has been paid.”.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee took the first step towards implementation of the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) on Friday. While retaining the basic exemption limits for all income levels (as in the DTC), he increased the other slabs. For instance, while the basic exemption limit for individuals has been retained at Rs 1.6 lakh, the 10 per cent rate will now be applicable for the Rs 1.6 lakh-Rs 5 lakh bracket. Earlier, the 10 per cent rate was applicable for income of Rs 1.6-Rs 3 lakh. The hike in the slab means that the taxpayer is going to save Rs 20,600 for incomes up to Rs 5 lakh.
The existing provisions of section 40(a)(ia) of Income-tax Act provide for the disallowance of expenditure like interest, commission, brokerage, professional fees, etc. if tax on such expenditure was not deducted, or after deduction was not paid during the previous year.
When hiring of trucks and payment thereof was not in consequence upon any written or oral agreement, the natural outcome is that the provisions of section 194C, as has been held in the decisions referred to herein before, were also not applicable to the assessee’s case
