Delhi High Court held that separate transfer pricing adjustment for AMP was uncalled for given that the distribution business of assessee was already benchmarked separately and the transaction was benchmarked correctly.
in a colourful observation, the Tribunal compared Juniper’s interlinked trading and service activities to the egg-or-chicken story, holding entity-level TNMM appropriate and deleting the TP addition.
The Tribunal held that the expenditure on acquiring 3G spectrum created an intangible asset, allowing the assessee to claim depreciation u/s 32 of the Act. This crucial finding confirms the asset’s depreciable nature for AY 2012-13, preventing its amortization under later or inapplicable tax code sections.
ITAT Delhi dismissed Revenue’s appeal, deleting a ₹2.18 crore Transfer Pricing (TP) adjustment on palm oil imports. Tribunal ruled that taxpayer rightly used Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) method based on Kuala Lumpur Commodity Exchange (KLCE)-derived broker quotes, confirming CUP as the most appropriate method for commodity trading.
Delhi High Court rules in PCIT v. Amadeus India that no Transfer Pricing adjustment is warranted for AMP expenses, citing no ‘international transaction.’ The Court reiterates the Finance Act 2022 amendment to Section 14A is prospective from AY 2022-23, not retrospective, dismissing the Revenue’s appeal for AY 2018-19.
The Delhi High Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeal against Casio India for AY 2017-18, upholding the deletion of a Transfer Pricing adjustment for AMP expenses. The court ruled that the issue was covered by prior judgments, which rejected the Bright Line Test methodology.
The ITAT deleted the entire Rs.3.94 crore Transfer Pricing (TP) adjustment, ruling that three companies involved in product development, distribution, and proprietary software (Kellton, Magnasoft, Interglobe) were functionally dissimilar to a captive software service provider.2 The Tribunal held that excluding these companies brought the assessees margin of within the Arms Length Price (ALP) range.
The Ahmedabad ITAT set aside a ₹1 lakh penalty under Section 271BA, ruling that failure to electronically file the Form 3CEB transfer pricing report was a mere technical and procedural default. Crucially, the report was prepared before the search and later physically filed with the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO).
Delhi ITAT ruled that a negative lien is not a corporate guarantee, quashing the Rs.16.48 Cr transfer pricing adjustment under Section 92B. Negative lien imposes no repayment liability.
The Delhi High Court dismissed the Revenue’s appeals in CIT-1 v. Casio India Co. Pvt. Ltd. for AY 2012-13 and 2013-14, affirming the ITAT’s finding that AMP expenses did not constitute an international transaction warranting separate transfer pricing adjustments.
