The Tribunal examined whether professional fees claimed were actually incurred and for business purposes. It held that absence of evidence like bank payment, TDS, and service details justified disallowance.
Tribunal held that TDS liability under section 194-IA cannot arise unless Revenue proves that payment was actually made. Mere third-party statements were found insufficient to treat buyer as an assessee in default.
The addition was based on suspicion arising from third-party misconduct. The Tribunal reiterated that income tax additions cannot rest on presumptions alone.
The Tribunal reaffirmed that reassessment cannot be based on re-appreciation of facts already scrutinized earlier. Without failure of disclosure, invoking Section 147 beyond four years was invalid.
Recognising the role of a Kaccha Arhtia, the Tribunal ruled that only commission constitutes income. TDS deducted on gross receipts belonging to farmers still entitles the agent to full credit.
The issue was whether TDS credit can be denied when interest income is adjusted against capital work-in-progress. ITAT held that once income is indirectly recognised by reducing CWIP, corresponding TDS credit cannot be refused.
The error arises when rejected TDS entries are not amended by the deductor. Correcting the entry through Table 4 of GSTR-7 resolves the issue.
The Court held that employees cannot be held liable for TDS non-deposit when the employer deducts it. The AO must decide representation considering CBDT circular guidance.
The issue was whether employees can be taxed when employers deduct but do not deposit TDS. The Court held Section 205 absolutely bars such recovery, placing liability only on employers.
The issue was whether employees are protected when TDS is deducted but not remitted. The Court held tax remains payable as no credit arises without deposit.
