The article explains that tax authorities often disallow intra-group charges where evidence of actual services is missing. Even correct pricing cannot sustain a claim without proving benefit and delivery. The key takeaway is that documentation is more critical than pricing sophistication.
Explains how Form 49 replaces multiple forms to streamline Safe Harbour compliance and reduce duplication in transfer pricing filings.
The new Form 48 replaces Form 3CEB and mandates reporting of international and domestic transactions. It enhances structured transfer pricing compliance.
Form 46 allows taxpayers to exercise the option for determination of arm’s length price for international or specified domestic transactions for two tax years.
The Tribunal held that subscription to preference shares cannot be re-characterized as loans in absence of evidence showing sham transactions. Notional interest addition was deleted.
The tribunal held that the safe harbour limit applies to valuation determined by the DVO, not just stamp duty value. It ruled in favour of the assessee as the variation was within 10%.
The Court held that Tribunal remand is not a fresh reference under transfer pricing law. Hence, limitation expired earlier, entitling the assessee to refund.
The issue was whether ALP can be determined without comparable transactions. ITAT held that Rule 10AB mandates comparables, making the TPO’s approach invalid and restricting the adjustment.
The Tribunal held that the TPO failed to consider the assessee’s Internal CUP benchmarking despite directions from the DRP. It directed fresh examination using the correct method and excluded certain NCDs from adjustment.
Tribunal directed allocation of common head-office expenses (and common income) to eligible industrial undertakings when computing deductions under sections 10B and 80-IB, following prior coordinate-bench rulings; AO must apply the earlier directions on remand. Key takeaway: common corporate overheads and income were to be apportioned to units for deduction-computation as previously directed.
