Molasses produced during manufacturing of sugar not scrap for the purpose of section 206C

May 2, 2013 3453 Views 0 comment Print

We have thoroughly gone through the findings of the ld. first appellate authority on the issue in dispute and we are of the view that the findings of the ld. first appellate authority are not based on any material or evidence and the Molasses would not form part of the definition as provided in Explanation (b) to section 206C of the Act. Thus, the Explanation has wrongly been applied in the case of the assessee because the assessee is engaged in the extraction of sugar from sugar-cane and the sugar Molasses is produced as by-product. It is obtained when sugarcane juice is boiled to obtain sugar. Molasses is by-product arise during the processing of sugarcane. It is not wastage and scrap as discussed in the foregoing paragraphs.

Amendment to Sec. 206-C dealing with TCS on Sale of Bullion or Jewellery in Cash – Clarification

May 1, 2013 4687 Views 0 comment Print

Currently, sale in cash of bullion (excluding coin or any other article weighing 10 grams or less) in excess of Rs 2 lakh or jewellery in excess of Rs.5 lakh is subject to Tax Collection at Source (TCS) @ 1%. As coins were neither included in bullion nor in jewellery, therefore, coins, even when amounting to more than Rs. 2 lakh in value, were being sold in cash without TCS.

January 30, 2013 5689 Views 0 comment Print

Income Tax is a code in itself and for levying taxes certain terms have been defined in a particular manner and they carry special meanings. Word ‘person’ is one among them. So, in our humble opinion, State Government is a person for purposes of collecting tax at sources as per the provisions of Sec 206C of the Act.

Bagasse used as a fuel usually in sugar mills, cannot be considered as ‘scrap’ for sec. 206C

November 19, 2012 1863 Views 0 comment Print

Bagasse is quite often and commonly used as a fuel, usually in the sugar mill themselves. The sugarcane fibrous waste is initially moist after crushing, but most mills use them as fuel after drying. Hence, even though bagasse is in the nature of scrap and waste because of its nature, since it can be used directly as a fuel, I hold that it should not be considered as ‘scrap’ for the purpose of section 206C of the Act.
