Section 14A of IT Act applicable in respect of share of profit from partnership firm

November 12, 2009 11994 Views 0 comment Print

A partnership firm is a separate entity than that of its partners under the Income-tax Act and therefore, partners vis-à-vis partnership firm would stand on the same footing of shareholders vis-à-vis company; accordingly , income charged in the hands of partnership firm cannot be treated as being a non-exempt income in the hands of a partner of such firm and, therefore, provisions of section 14A would be applicable in computing the total income of such partner in respect of his share in the profits of such firm.

Reopening under section 147 by the AO on the same set of facts, without there being any additional information, can only be considered as change of opinion

November 1, 2009 433 Views 0 comment Print

As can be seen from the above the adjustment made by the assessee is according to the provisions of the Act. Since both the industrial galas fall within the block the WDV is increased by the actual cost of the asset falling within the block and reduced by the amount payable in respect of the asset sold. Accordingly we do not find any mistake in assessee’s working of the block of assets which is according to the provisions of section 43(6)(c). The A.O.’s action in denying the inclusion of asset within the block is on the condition that the asset was not put to use.
