Professional Update For the Day:

DIRECT TAX:

Disallowance of interest paid by the appellant to the bank as well as to the other parties – Held that – The assessee was able to establish that he had incurred the expenditure wholly and exclusively for the purpose of business and therefore there is no justification for the revenue to disallowance the interest component.

IT: Where assessee-logistic company did not deduct TDS on payment made to overseas organizations for availing their logistic services, since the transaction was on principal to principal basis and merely word ‘agency’ was used in the agreement did not mean that there existed a relationship of agency, TDS was not required to be deducted[2016] 68 taxmann.com 384 (Kolkata – Trib.) Balmer Lawrie & Co. Ltd. v. Income-tax Officer

(Escorts Ltd. Versus CCE, Jaipur, And Vice-Versa)- 2016 (4) TMI 1077 – CESTAT NEW DELHI

Seeking cross-examination of certain witnesses – Petitioner submitted that show cause notice is based on several statements of witnesses including those of the experts and any reliance on such statements without offering such witnesses for cross-examination would be opposed to the principles of natural justice.

Held that:- the reasons cited by the adjudicating authority are completely baseless. Merely because the concerned witnesses have not retracted their statements would not be a ground to deny cross-examination. .(M/s Mulchand M. Zaveri & 1 Versus Union of India & 1)- 2016 (4) TMI 1074 – GUJRAT HIGH COURT

Additional Commissioner of Delhi VAT can’t reject the application filed under Amnesty Scheme [2016] 68taxmann.com 385 (Delhi)Jaycon Infrastructure Ltd. v. Commissioner of Trade & Taxes
