CLAUSE 4 - REGISTRATION NOS.

Compliance

The auditor should obtain from the assessee and disclose the list of indirect taxes applicable to him as well as exercise his diligence regarding the applicability of different taxes based on the nature of the client business.

CLAUSE 4 - REGISTRATION NOS.

Points to Remember

• Eventually, auditor is required to obtain a copy of the registration certificate clearly mentioning the registration number under that relevant law.

• Where the indirect tax law does not require any registration, appropriate

identification number may be reported in this clause. For example, in Customs Act, 1962, since there is no registration number, a copy of Export Import Code (IEC) may be obtained and information be accordingly furnished.

transfer of tenancy rights, section 50C of the act could not be invoked ”.

Page 21: Revised Form 3CD presentation

CLAUSE 17 - SALE OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

Issue

Can penalty be levied u/s 271(1) (c ) for addition u/s 43CA or 50C?

Page 22: Revised Form 3CD presentation

Revised Form 3CD : CA Mehul Shah | 22

Renu Hingorani vs ACIT [ ITA No. 2210/Mum/2010 ]

“Merely because the assessee agreed for addition on the basis of valuation

made by the Stamp Valuation Authority would not be a conclusive proof that

the sale consideration as per this agreement was incorrect and wrong.

Accordingly the addition because of the deeming provisions does not ipso

facto attract the penalty u/s 271(1)(c ). Hence in view of the decision of the

Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT V/s Reliance Petroproducts Pvt.Ltd

(supra), the penalty levied u/s 271(1)( c ) is not sustainable. The same is

deleted. “

Page 23: Revised Form 3CD presentation

Revised Form 3CD : CA Mehul Shah | 23

Sukhabhai P. Ahir (HUF) vs ITO [ITA No. 2454/Ahd/2009]

“ It is pertinent to note that in the quantum proceedings, there is no finding that

the assessee has received anything more than the consideration mentioned in

the sale deed. The addition was made by invoking the provisions contained in

section 50C of the I.T.Act, 1961. In the case of Shri Haresh P. Shah (supra),

relied on by the ld. Counsel of the assessee, on identical fact, the penalty of

Rs.33,082/- was levied under section 271(1)(c) of the I.T. Act and the same

was cancelled by the ITAT, ‘SMC’ Bench, Ahmedabad vide order dated

08.07.2010 (supra) and hence in the present case also the penalty is deleted “

Page 24: Revised Form 3CD presentation

Revised Form 3CD : CA Mehul Shah | 24

CIT v/s. Madan Teatres Ltd 42 taxmann.com 26 (Cal HC)

“Assessee sold a property for a sum of Rs. 2.51 crore - For purpose of stamp

duty, value was estimated at a sum of Rs. 5.19 crore and on that basis stamp

duty was realized - Thereupon, Assessing Officer having adopted sale price at

Rs. 5.19 crore and passed a penalty order under section 271(1)(c) - Tribunal set

aside said penalty order - On appeal, it was noted that actual amount received

on sale was offered for taxation and it was only on basis of deemed

consideration proceedings under section 271(1)(c) were started - Even

otherwise, revenue failed to produce any iota of evidence that assessee actually

received one paise more than amount shown to have been received by him -

Whether in aforesaid circumstances, Tribunal was justified in setting aside

penalty order - Held, yes.”

section 2(24)(x). The reporting has to be done under this clause irrespective

of the time of deposit. If the same has been deducted and deposited before the

that the same may not be added to the income of the assessee as per following

judgements :

1) CIT vs AIMIL Ltd. [2010] 321 ITR 508 (Del)

2) CIT vs Kichha Sugar 356 ITR 351 (Utt)

The proviso to section 68 added by Finance Act, 2012 and section

115BBE.

By making amendment in the proviso of this section now it will

be almost impossible to introduce unaccounted money in this

manner. In a way it is a very welcome amendment as it is to curb

introduction of black money in the guise of companies share

capital. In view of this now every company in which public are

not substantially interested shall have to maintain and in turn

produce before the Income tax authorities the genuineness and

creditworthiness besides the identity of the investors/shareholders

in share capital.

Revised Form 3CD : CA Mehul Shah

The proviso to section 68 added by Finance Act, 2012 and section

115BBE.

With the amendment to section 68 by the Budget, 2012, in

respect of share capital and share premium, the insertion of

section 56(2)(viib) to treat the amount in excess of FMV as

income is not warranted. If we look through both the

amendments to section 56(2)(viib) and section 68, it is short of a

double jeopardy. The department should not resort to the new

provisions of section 56(2)(viib) if the source of amount in the

hands of shareholder/applicant of shares is satisfactorily proved

under section 68, as the new proviso to section 68 itself casts a

duty. The law makers have not envisaged a situation where an

addition may be made under section 68 and if the shares are

issued at price more than FMV, the A.O. may also make deemed

addition under section 56(2)(viib). It is suggested that a proviso

should be added to section 56(2)(viib) to mitigate such hardship

by providing that the addition under section 56(2)(viib) will not

be made to the extent income is deemed under section 68 or vice

versa.

The proviso to section 68 added by Finance Act, 2012 and section 115BBE.

highest marginal rate under section 115BBE w.e.f. the assessment

CLAUSE 33 - CHAPTER III DEDUCTIONS

Honourable Karnataka High Court dated 11.12.2013 in case of ACIT Vs. Motorola India Electronics.

The only difference is that Section 80HHC contains a further mandate in terms of Explanation (baa) for exclusion of certain income from the “profits of the business” which is, however, conspicuous by its absence in Section 10B. On the basis of the aforesaid distinction, Sub-section (4) of Section 10A/10B of the Act is a complete code by itself. Further, it is submitted that Sub-section (4) does not require an assessee to establish a direct nexus with the business of the undertaking and once an income forms part of the business of the undertaking, the same would be included in the profits of the business of the undertaking. Thus, once an income forms part of the business of the eligible undertaking, there is no further mandate in the provisions of section 10B to exclude the same from the eligible profits.

IT : When it was not established that there was failure on part of assessee to

disclose truly and correctly all material facts, assessment could not be reopened

after expiry of four years to disallow interest on ground that no interest was

offered on loan advanced and to disallow rent on ground that TDS was not

deducted thereon.

PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPERS PVT. LTD. vs. CIT

Facts:

Penalty u/s 271(1)(c)—Assessee, by mistake claimed a deduction in

respect of provision towards payment of gratuity in its return of

income, even though Tax Audit Report indicated that such provision

was not allowable—AO initiated penalty on assessee for concealing

income.

Page 60: Revised Form 3CD presentation

Held:

Tax Audit Report was filed along with the return and that it unequivocally

stated that the provision for payment was not allowable under s 40A(7) of

the Act indicates that the assessee made a computation error in its return

of income. The contents of the Tax Audit Report suggest that there is no

question of the assessee concealing its income. There is also no question of

the assessee furnishing any inaccurate particulars. It appears that all that

has happened in the present case is that through a bona fide and

inadvertent error, the assessee while submitting its return, failed to add

the provision for gratuity to its total income….

This can only be described as a human error which we are all prone to

make. The calibre and expertise of the assessee has little or nothing to

do with the inadvertent error. That the assessee should have been

careful cannot be doubted, but the absence of due care, in a case such

as the present, does not mean that the assessee is guilty of either

furnishing inaccurate particulars or attempting to conceal its income.
