Whether the expenditure incurred by a unit can be reallocated to another unit engaged in job work and claiming deduction u/s 80IA and 80IB, as the case may be, merely because the profits were significantly higher than profits earned by the assessee from other units.
Issue – The facts relating to the two issues are stated in brief. The assessee is a Kerala State owned public limited company, engaged in the business of providing infrastructural facilities to industries. It runs an industrial park at Kakkanad, Kochi.
A perusal of the provisions of section 80IA(4) of the Act shows that in the explanation ‘infrastructure facility’ has been specified to mean a road including a toll road, a bridge or a rail system. Admittedly, the assessee is doing the business of development of railway tracks and bridges thereof as also roads.
On the question as to whether the assessee is entitled to deduction u/s 80IA of the Act on the net interest income on employees loans & advances, interest on margin money and interest income on dues towards income tax refund adjustment from Essar Project Ltd., we are of the opinion that the issue involved in the present case is no more res-integra and is covered by the decision of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Liberty India (supra) wherein it has been held that duty drawback, DEPB benefits, rebates, etc., cannot be credited against the cost of manufacture of goods debited in the profit and loss account for purposes of section 80-IA/80-IB as such remissions (credits) would constitute independent source of income beyond the first degree nexus between profits and the industrial undertaking.
In this case, assessee was carrying on business of conversion of Jumbo Rolls of photographic films into small flats and rolls in desired sizes. It claimed deduction under secs. 80-HH and 80-I as well as investment allowance under sec. 32AB. The controversy arose whether conversion of jumbo rolls into small sizes amounts to manufacture or production, eligible for deduction under sec. 32AB or deduction under sections 80-HH and 80-I of the Income-tax Act, 1961/ Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that this activity amounts to manufacture or production.
Regarding disallowance of foreign travelling expenses, it is seen that on similar circumstances and facts, the Assessing Officer has disallowed 4% of the expenditure claimed which was based on ratio of such expenses with export sales. Thus, such a view taken by the Assessing Officer cannot be disturbed without any difference in the facts and circumstances of the case.
The genesis of this book is an exercise carried out to compile best quality assessment orders passed in each Chief C.I.T region of Gujarat during the Financial Year 2011-12. On analyzing these orders it emerged that majority of additions were relatable to issues pertaining to 19 topics. Therefore it was decided to constitute an expert […]
The view of the Larger Bench that the assessee had to be directly engaged in developing, maintaining and operating the facility and that there had to be a complete development of the facility and not just a part of it is contrary to the law laid down in ABG Heavy Industries 322 ITR 323 (Bom). The High Court held that The assessee did not have to develop the entire project in order to qualify for a deduction under s. 80-IA. The Parliament did not legislate a condition impossible of compliance.
We find that both the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) as well as the Tribunal have arrived at a finding of fact that Assessing officer did not have any reasonable belief to come to the conclusion that that there has been any escapement for the assessment year 2003-04. The order of MERC dated 01.07.2004 specifically deals with regard to fixing of the tariff rate at which power has to be supplied to the consumer.
The case of the petitioners is that the impugned explanation below sub-section (13) to section 80IA provides for a levy of tax which was hitherto unknown. It is, therefore, urged that the Court should examine the reasonableness of such provision particularly when the same is brought into operation with retrospective effect. Section 80IA(4) provides for deduction under certain circumstances. If such deductions are withdrawn with retrospective effect, surely there would be a case of providing for a levy which was till then not known.
