It has been held in the aforesaid judgements that it is not open to a person making payments to a non-resident to take a unilateral decision that the payments made by him are not sums chargeable to tax. To take that view, concurrence of the Assessing Officer as provided in section 195(2) is sine qua non. For reaching the aforesaid conclusion, the judgement of the Supreme Court in Transmission Corporation of A.P. Ltd. Vs. CIT [1999] 239 ITR 587 (S.C.) has also been invoked.
The assessee is a cable network operator through which it provides telecasting of programmes to the ultimate consumers/subscribers. The assessee in turn enters into a contract with the licensor of various TV channels. On the payment so made, Section 194C of the Act is attracted.
Trade Cir. No. 4 T of 2008 Section 31 of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 provides for deduction of tax at Source. Section 31(1) (b) (ii) of the Act empowers the Commissioner of Sales Tax to grant certificate to a contractor who is not doing Works contract. Where an application is made by the contractor and if the Commissioner is satisfied that the contract is not a works contract, then, he shall grant him the certificate for non-deduction of tax at source. The Commissioner may, after giving the contractor a reasonable opportunity of being heard, reject the application or cancel or modify such certificate.
All tax deductors / collectors are required to file the TDS/TCS returns in Form No.24Q (for salaries), Form No.26Q (for payments other than salaries) or Form No.27EQ (for TCS). These forms require details of all tax deductions with name and permanent account number (PAN) of parties from whom tax was deducted. It had earlier been decided that Form No.24Q with less than 90% of PAN data and Form No.26Q & Form No.27EQ with less than 70% of PAN data will not be accepted for the quarter ending on 30.09.2007 and thereafter.
The Income Tax Department has extended the last date for filing of tax returns for Tax Deducted/Collection at source for the second quarter of this fiscal to February 29. This measure is likely to provide a major relief to the employers, who could not submit their returns due to delay in clarification on employees stock options or other reasons.
CIRCULAR NO. 1/2008-Income Tax Representations have been received from various quarters regarding applicability of the provisions of Section 194-I to cooling charges paid by the various customers to the owners of cold storages. It has been represented that the cold storage owners provide a composite service, which involves preservation of essential food items including perishable goods at various temperatures suitable for specific food items for required periods and storage of goods being incidental to the activity of preservation. The cooling of goods is controlled through mechanical process. The customer brings its packages for preservation for a required period and takes away its packages after paying cooling charges. The customer does not hire the building, plant/machinery etc. in any manner and does not become a tenant of any kind.
The finance ministry is expected to announce the abolition of tax deducted at source (TDS) on corporate bonds in Budget 2008-09, official sources told media. The move is expected to stoke the near-dormant secondary market in corporate bonds by bringing them on a par with government securities (G-Secs). TDS on G-Secs was abolished in 2000, a move that had a positive impact on secondary trading in these bonds.
The Budget 2008-09 could bring some cheer to a host of self-employed professionals, like engineers and architects, with the likely increase in the threshold for tax deducted at source (TDS) for these professionals. The existing ceiling for deduction of tax at source is Rs 20,000. As per section 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961, if the fee for professional or technical service contract undertaken by any of these professionals is more than Rs 20,000, the contract awardee has to deduct tax at the rate of 10%. The government had hiked the rate of TDS from 5% to 10%.
CIRCULAR NO. 7/2007-Income Tax The Board had issued Circular No. 790 dated 20th April, 2000, laying down the procedure for refund of tax deducted under section 195, in certain situations to the person deducting the tax at source from the payment to the non-resident. Representations have been received in the Board from taxpayers requesting that the said Circular may be amended to take into account situations where genuine claim for refund arises to the person deducting the tax at source from payment to the non-resident and it does not fall in the purview of the said Circular.
IT is now an axiomatic law that Board circulars are binding on the Department, even if they are wrong or against decisions of the Supreme Court. But our Boards do not have the habit of tracking down the multitude of circulars they issue and considering whether they are relevant after the Law has been amended and the Apex Court had already ruled on the issue. In the Dhiren Chemicals case (2002-TIOL-83- SC-CX), the Supreme Court had held that if there was a Board Circular which was not in tune with the views of the Supreme Court, the Board Circular would prevail. The whole idea is that the Department should not be seen arguing that the Board was wrong – even if it is wrong, the Departmental officers should be bound by it.
