The Court relied on the agreement concluded between Assessee and M/s Lakeshore according to which M/s Lakeshore would run Gastroenterology, Gastrointestinal surgery, Urology, Nephrology and Anesthesiology departments of the assessee upon receipt of payments as per the agreement which was not the case of undertaking a contract work.
In the cited case, ITAT inter-alia held that since the payments have been made as reimbursement of expenses to the agents of the appellant, therefore, appellant was not obliged to deduct TDS under section 194C of the Act and as such, no disallowance is warranted u/s 40(a)(ia) of the IT Act.
In the case of Commissioner of Income Tax vs. DLF Commercial Project Corporation Delhi High Court held that Advance received cannot be treated as income of the assessee and TDS is not deductible on reimbursement of Expenses since it is not an income.
The assessee is a dealer of sarees and AO while framing the assessment disallowed karigar /embroidery charges by invoking the provision of section 40(a)(ia) of the act for non-deduction of TDS u/s 194C of the Act.
The assessee had made payment to the labour contractors without deducting TDS on the same and claimed the same as an expense in his profit & Loss account. AO disallowed the same as per sec 40(a)(ia) for non-deduction of TDS.
ITAT Kolkatta has held In the case of Menally Sayaji Engineering Ltd. VS -CIT that if assessee failed to deduct TDS during the previous year on payments of management service fee and royalty debited to the profit and loss account and if in his Assessment Order Passed U/s. 143(3)
The issue in dispute is that whether disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 applies only to amount ‘payable’ on the year end or whether amount ‘paid’ during the year is also covered within its ambit. In this regard, Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in case of CIT vs. M/s Vector Shipping Services (P) Ltd., (2013) 262 CTR (All) 545 held that for attracting disallowance under the said section, the amount should be payable and not which has been paid by the end of the year.
S. 40(a)(ia) can be invoked only when the two conditions, namely, that tax is deductible at source and such tax has not been deducted is satisfied. Where tax is deducted by the assessee under a wrong provision of TDS and there is a shortfall, s.40 (a) (ia) disallowance cannot be made.
Second proviso to section 40(a)(ia) provides that where the assessee is not deemed to be assessee in default under the first proviso to sub-section (1) of section 201, then, for the purpose of this sub-clause, it shall be deemed that the assessee has deducted and paid the tax on such sum on the date of furnishing of return of income by the resident payee
Since the income of CGS International and Marble Arts & Crafts can only be classified under Article 14 or Article 22 of the DTAA – both of which provide that the income shall be taxable in the State of residence (UAE)–the issue as to whether the services provided by the two UAE entities fall within the scope of professional services under Article 14 is irrelevant to the outcome of this case.
