TAX UPDATES FEBRUARY 2010Chythanya K.K., B.Com, FCA, LL.B, Advocate

VAT, CST, ENTRY TAX,PROFESSIONAL TAXPARTS DIGESTED:a) 2009-10 (14) KCTJ – Vol-14 No.11b) 2010 (68) KLJ Part 2c) 28 VST – Part 1 & 2

Reference/Description2010 (68) Kar. L.J. 113 (HC) (DB)Shekar Bhojanna v. State ofKarnataka In the instant case theassessee was a distributor of motorcycles, despatching motor cycles fromhis depot on lorries for delivery on saleto dealers spread out in the State at theirdoor-steps. The assessee was collectingtransportation charge on account of thesaid delivery from the dealers byshowing it separately in the sale bill.The assessee however, was not payingtax on the freight amount on thecontention that the freight was a post-sale expense and so did not form partof price of the motor cycles, whose salewas ex-depot. The Hon’ble High Courtof Karnataka held that, where theassessee had failed to refute theconcurrent finding arrived at by boththe tax authorities as well as theTribunal that the freight paid was pre-sale expense forming part of sale price,that the freight paid by him was onbehalf of dealers in terms of a separateagreement with them and that the saleconcluded at his depot and that thetransport was arranged at the risk andcost of the dealers, the assessee wasliable to pay tax inclusive of the freightamount, including the same as a partof his taxable turnover.Therefore, it isimportant for the assessee to prove onfact that the freight is a post saleexpense and such proof should be

furnished to the satisfaction of theTribunal.

[2010] 28 VST 64 (Ker) HCI.F.B. Industries Ltd. v. State of KeralaThe Hon’ble High Court of Kerala inthe instant case observed that for thepurpose of Kerala General Sales TaxRules, 1963, r. 9 (a) (discountallowable in the computation oftaxable turnover) the conditionprecedent was that the price chargedon the goods should be less discount(therefore in the nature of a tradediscount – given in the bills). It heldthat incentives given by way of creditnotes at end of year were not deductibleunder the aforesaid Rule.The aforesaiddecision misses the point that discountneed not be given on transaction totransaction basis but could be givenas a volume discount at the end of adefinite period.

[2010] 28 VST 82 (Ker) HCK. Sadikali v. Commercial TaxOfficer (VAT), V Circle, Kozhikodeand others In the instant case thepetitioner was a dealer in timber andhad purchased timber logs from theForest Department of the StateGovernment. In the matter ofclaiming refund of input tax credit, theHon’ble High Court of Keralaobserved that the dealer havingproduced bills from ForestDepartment showing payment ofinput tax along with the copies ofseparate demand drafts through whichthe tax amount had been remitted theonus of burden of proof vested on thedealer was discharged. The Court heldthat the dealer could not be asked toproduce further evidence in form oftax remittance certificate from the

Department. The Assessing Officerwas required to conduct “such enquiryas it considered necessary” and thatit was the duty of the officer to crossverify. Welcome relief! To check thedepartment’s ever growing inclinationto conveniently shun its responsibilityby passing the buck (even otherwise alot of duties of the taxmen have beenconveniently passed on to thetaxpayers much to their chargin!)

Reference/Description[2010] 320 ITR 526 (Bom)East India Hotels Ltd. & another v.CBDT & another In the instant casethe Hon’ble High Court of Bombayobserved that the services rendered bya hotel to its customers are notcovered under section 194C of theIncome-tax Act (IT Act, TDS oncontractors). The Court further wenton to hold that Circular no. 681 datedMarch 8, 1994 issued by the CBDTwas illegal and liable to be quashedin as much as it applied to paymentsmade by customers to the hotel foravailing certain facilities or amenities.By insertion of Explanation III tosection 194C the scope of expansionto the term work was limited only suchservices where the work culminated ina product.Therefore, no tax is requiredto be deducted at source in respect of

payment to be made to a hotel exceptin case of rent paid for booking theroom on a regular basis.

[2010] 320 ITR 542 (Delhi) HCCIT v. Smt. Rani Shankar MishraThe Hon’ble Delhi High Court in theinstant case held that the amountreceived by way of compensation fordenial of job on the basis of genderdiscrimination was not in the natureof ‘profit in lieu of salary under section17(3(iii) of the IT Act, but in fact wasa capital receipt. The Court observedthat the amount referred to in theaforesaid section was in connectionwith the employment with the personfrom whom it was received. Sub-clause (A) of the said section referredto a period prior to an assessee joiningemployment, whereas sub-clause (B)referred to a period after the cessationof an assessee’s employment. When inthe instant case there in fact did notexist any employer-employeerelationship as aforesaid, the periodafter and prior have no meaning.

[2010] 320 ITR 561 (SC) CIT v. (1)Kelvinator of India Ltd.(2) Eicher Ltd. The Hon’ble SupremeCourt in the context of section 147 ofthe IT Act (post its amendment in1989) and the insertion of the term‘reason to believe’ in the said section,observed that post 1st April 1989 thepower to reopen was much wider.However one needs to give aschematic interpretation to the words“reason to believe”, failing which,section 147 would only give arbitrarypowers to the AO to reopenassessments on the basis of a “merechange of opinion”, which howevercould not per se be the reason forreopening. Further it was observedthat there existed a conceptualdifference between power to reviewand power to reassess. The AO has

no power to review but has power toreassess. However the reassessmenthad to be based on fulfilment ofcertain pre-conditions and if theconcept of ‘change of opinion’ wereremoved, then in the garb ofreopening the assessment, reviewwould take place. The concept of‘change of opinion’ was an in-builttest to check abuse of power by theAO. After the aforesaid amendmentthe AO could reopen provided therewas ‘tangible material’ to come to theconclusion that there was escapementof income from assessment. Reasonsmust have a live link with theformation of the belief.The aforesaiddecision is a welcome decision whichhas read “no change of opinion” in“reason to belief” so as to protect theinterest of the assessee from thereview action of the assessing officer.

[2010] 321 ITR 49 (Karn)C I T(International Taxation) & anotherv. Illinois Institute of Technology(India) P. Ltd. The Hon’ble HighCourt of Karnataka held that therewas no liability to deduct tax at sourceu/s. 195 of the IT Act in a case wherethe payee was not earning any profitor income in India by conducting anytrade or business. In the instant casethe assessee had entered into anagreement with a foreign company inorder to impart distance education incertain faculties. The assesseeremitted the entire fees collected tothe foreign company and the foreigncompany was not earning any profitout of such receipts.The abovedecision has as soothing effect afterthe controversial Samsung case.

[2010] 321 ITR 132 (Ker) N. J. Jose& Co. (P.) Ltd. v. Assistant CIT &another In the matter of computing thebook profits u/s. 115J of the IT Act,the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala

observed that, as long as long-termcapital gains are a part of the profitincluded in the profit and loss accountprepared in accordance with Parts IIand II of Schedule VI to the CompaniesAct, the said gains could not beexcluded unless provided under theExplanation to section 115J(1A). In theabsence of any provision for exclusionof capital gains in the computation ofbook profit under the aforesaid section,the assessee was not entitled to the saidexclusion and that section 54E had noapplicability in the computation of thebook profit u/s. 115J.

[2010] 321 ITR 147 (Delhi)CIT v. Woodward Governor IndiaLtd. The Hon’ble High Court of Delhiheld that the provision for warrantyexpenses arrived at on the basis ofworking of average rate of warrantyexpenses is rational and scientific andtherefore allowable to the sales madeduring the year. However it was heldthat the assessee is not entitled toclaim warranty expenses on provisionbasis in respect of prior period saleswherein warranty expenses hadalready been allowed on actual basis.

[2010] 321 ITR 165 (Raj) CIT v.Lake Palace Hotels & Motels Ltd. Inthe instant case the assessee leased outa property for a period of 72 yearsunder a lease deed stipulating annualrent and also stipulating a sum of Rs.2.5 crores as deposit. The said depositas per the deed was to fetch interest@ 9% p.a. The AO contended that themarket rate of interest was between18-24% and therefore computed thatdifference between 9 and 18% to bethe capital gains. The Hon’ble HighCourt of Rajasthan held that unlikethe Wealth-tax Act there was noprovision u/s. 45 and 48 of the IT Actto bring deemed profits or gain to betaxable as a capital gain.

[2010] 186 Taxman 187 (AAR-NewDelhi) Dana Corporation, In reThe AAR in the instant case held thatif by the application of the provisionsof section 45 r.w.s. 48 of the IT Act,there does not arise any income, thensection 92 (computation of incomehaving regard to the arm’s lengthprice) does not come to the aid ofrevenue, even though the transactionis an international transaction.

[2010] 186 Taxman 208 (Delhi) HCCIT, Delhi-VI v. Teehdrive (India) (P.)Ltd. In the instant case the assesseeregistered with STPI was an exporterof computer software. For theassessment year under considerationthe assessee filed its return claimingdeduction u/s. 10B of the IT Act, whichwas rejected by the AO on the groundthat the assessee was not having itsown infrastructure and was using oldplant/machinery of another concern todevelop its software. The claim of theassessee was upheld by the CIT(A) onthe ground that as per the conditionsu/s. 10B it was not mandatory for theassessee to use its own infrastructureand so long as the software wasdeveloped by the assessee’s ownpersonnel/employees the said softwarebelonged to the assessee and thecondition u/s. 10B were satisfied. TheHon’ble High Court of Delhi furtherheld that in the instant case it was nota case of manufacture of any articlebut development and creation ofintellectual property, namely, softwareprogramme. The essential and maininputs for such developments were thatof the personnel belonging to theassessee, their intellect and creation ofthe aforesaid property. Therefore, useof computers would not be of muchsignificance.

[2010] 186 Taxman 233 (Kar.) HCCIT, Bangalore v. Brindavan

Beverages Ltd. The Hon’ble HighCourt of Karnataka held that theprovisions of section 234B and section234C of the IT Act are attracted even ina situation where the deemed incomeand liability to tax thereon is calculatedin terms of the provision u/s. 115JA.Inthe above case, it was held that the profitdirectly taken to capital reserve in thecase of profit on slump sale could beadded by the Assessing officer whilecomputing book profit.The aforesaiddecision in so far as it relates tocomputation of book profit requires areview as the same runs contrary to thedecision of the Supreme Court in ApolloTyres 255 ITR 273 SC.

[2010] 187 Taxman (SLP) 15 (SC)CIT, Delhi v. Delhi Public School TheSupreme Court has dismissed thespecial leave petition filed by theDepartment against the judgment in thecase of CIT (TDS) v. Delhi PublicSchool [2009] 318 ITR 234 (Delhi) HCwherein the Delhi High Court withreference to valuation of perquisitesunder Rule 3(5) of the Income TaxRules, had held that, the valuation offree educational facilities to children ofstaff is to be made with reference to costof such education in similar institutionsin or near the same locality and not withreference to the cost of education forother students in the same school.

[2010] 187 Taxman (BN-i) Part 2(P&H) HC CIT v. Satinder Pal SinghThe Hon’ble High Court of Punjab &Haryana in the context of determiningthe exclusion of agricultural land fromthe definition of capital asset as undersection 2(14)(iii) of the IT Act heldthat, the distance of 2Kms. from themunicipal limits of city of Khannahad to be taken in terms of approachby road and not as per straight linedistance on a horizontal plane. TheCourt contended that if the principle

of measurement of distance wasconsidered straight line distance on ahorizontal plane or as per crow’s flightthen it would have no relationshipwith the statutory requirement ofkeeping in view the extent ofurbanization!

[2010] 187 Taxman (BN-v) Part 2(Kar.) HC Asstt. CIT v. Dr. K. SatishShetty The Hon’ble High Court ofKarnataka in the context of section44AB (and to ascertain monetarylimit for the purpose of mandatory taxaudit) held that nowhere in theaforesaid section is there a stipulationthat in case an assessee is carrying onmany businesses then to calculate theturnover limit, the turnover of all thebusinesses need to be clubbed.

[2010] 187 Taxman 136 (Ker.) HCGirnar Industries v. CIT, CentralCochin The Hon’ble High Court ofKerala in the context of exemption u/s. 10A of the IT Act and theinterpretation of the meaning of theterm manufacture for the purposeobserved that, since the purpose ofexemption under section 10A – FTZ(read with section 10AA) was to giveeffect to the EXIM Policy of theGovernment (assessment year 2004-05), the definition of ‘manufacture’ ascontained in the aforesaid Policy wasapplicable for the purpose of section10A. Since ‘manufacture’ as definedunder the Policy had a wide andliberal meaning covering tea blendingas well, the blending and packing oftea qualified for exemption u/s. 10A.The Court further held that theamendment to section 10AA,whereby definition of ‘manufacture’as per section 2(r) of the SpecialEconomic Zones Act, 2005 wasinserted with effect from 10-2-2006was only clarificatory and the sameapplied to section 10A as well.

[2010] 1 ITR (Trib) 807(Delhi)Growth Avenue Securities P. Ltd. v.Deputy CIT In the matter ofcomputing the book profits as persection 115JB of the IT Act, the DelhiTribunal observed that, only the itemsspecifically referred to in the aforesaidsection could be deducted from theprofit and loss account as prepared inaccordance with Parts II and II ofSchedule VI to the Companies Act.The exemption under section 54ECin respect of capital gains is anincludible item while calculating theprofits as aforesaid and therefore thereis no possibility of deducting onaccount of any other item by theAssessing Officer other than thosewhich has been explicitly provided for

in the section. Similar to thejudgement of the Kerala High Courtin the case of Jose & Co. (supra).

(2009) 126 TTJ (Mumbai) 892Keshav S. Phansalkar v. ITO TheMumbai Tribunal in the instant caseheld that the capital loss worked outby the assessee with indexation couldbe set off against long-term capitalgains computed without indexation.It observed that the option of theassessee to work out the gain arisingon transfer of long-term capital assetwith or without indexation wasdistinct from allowing the set off ofloss arising under one particularmethod of computation against gainarising on account of followinganother method of computation. Both

the methods were for the purpose ofdetermining the income from transferof long-term capital asset.

BUDGET PROPOSALS INSERVICE TAX – PART ICA Rajesh Kumar T R, B Com, LL.B, FCA, DISA, CA ChandraShekar B D, B Com. LL.B, FCA, DISA

Budget day is the day everybodyviz., a business man, layman, salariedclass or anyone for that matter iswaiting to know what sort of changesare going to take place, which aregoing to affect them. It is said that thisBudget belongs to ‘Aam Aadmi’. Itbelongs to the farmer, theagriculturist, the entrepreneur and theinvestor. Even we, CharteredAccountants, are also interested in thebudget proposals, so that we canadvise our clients about the changesin the budget and how the financialplanning is to be done, be it direct orindirect taxes.

In this issue we shall discuss theservice tax proposals and changeswithout discussing the new categoryof services & changes in refundprovisions, which would be discussedin the next issue.

1. Commercial coaching andtraining –An Explanation is being added toovercome a spate of litigation ondate where the assessee/s hadtaken the contention that onlyinstitutes which are run on a profitmotive are only taxable, whichwas also upheld by number ofdecisions of Tribunal [Great LakesInstitute of Management Ltd. v.Commissioner — 2008 (10)S.T.R. 202 (Tri); ICFAI vs C.C.& C.E., 2009 (14) STR 220 (Tri)].This explanation clarifies the term‘commercial training or coachingcentre’ would also include any

centre or institute by whatevername called where training orcoaching is imparted forconsideration, whether are notthey are registered as trust, societyetc., and carrying on its activitywith or without profit motive.Therefore this will have lot ofimplication on various institutionsother than those who areproviding pre-school coaching orwho are issuing any certificate ordiploma or degree or anyeducational qualificationrecognised by law for the timebeing in force.

2. Residential Complex andIndustrial ConstructionServicesThis is one of the area thedepartment has created an utterchaos both for themselves as wellas the assessees. ContradictingCirculars and notifications wereissued in this regard time andagain putting assesses intojeopardy. This is a draconianprovision for the builders; they areharassed by the departmentofficials and also by thecustomers/prospective customers.Construction service wasintroduced from 10-09-2004 andfrom 01-06-2007 Work contractservice was introduced. CircularNo. 108/02/2009 dated28.01.2009 clarified that serviceprovided by a builder to acustomer is not liable to tax.

Now the newly insertedexplanation states thatconstruction of complex which isintended for sale, wholly or partly,by a builder or any personauthorized by the builder before,during or after construction shallbe deemed to be a service providedby the builder to the buyer. This isa deeming provision.However, even though there is adeeming provision that if thebuilder had not received anyamount prior to obtainingappropriate completion certificateby the competent authorities thensuch transactions would not bewithin the purview of the servicetax. This amendment seems to beprospective in nature as there isno mention about the effectivedate hence it cannot be said to beretrospective unless there isspecific mention about the same.This amendment could lead to anumber of doubts arising in ourminds. Few of them are as under-

a. Even after this amendment,whether the clarification given bycircular No. 108/02/2009 that theapartments/residential units builtfor personal use is excluded fromthe scope of residential complexas it is for personal use by buyerholds waters or not needs to beexamined.

b. There is no correspondingamendment under Works Contractservice. Does that mean if there isconstruction agreement wheresales tax is being paid; thetransaction is not in the nature ofbuilder and buyer model?

c. How would the taxability getdetermined for the projects underprogress?

SERVICE TAX – SERIES – PART VII

d. Constitutional validity of theconcept of ‘deeming fiction’?

3. Renting of Immovable propertyservice –

a. Renting of vacant land –The definition of renting ofimmovable property had certaininclusions and exclusions. One ofsuch exclusion was vacant land.In the transactions like long termleases on vacant land by Publicsector undertakings, industrialcorporations, etc under explicitunderstanding that lessee wouldconstruct factory or commercialbuilding on that land. In suchcases the ownership is nottransferred to the lessee and thusit is a service provided by thelessor to the lessee. Since theearlier definition had excluded thevacant land, the same was said tobe non-taxable service.In the Finance Bill 2010, there isa proposal to add to the inclusionlist specifically such cases that isto say it would cover vacant landgiven on lease or license forconstruction of building ortemporary structure at a later stageto be used for furtherance ofbusiness or commerce.

b. Renting – definition –amendmentThis is the hot topic of discussionat any forum on indirect taxes.Because of the decision of theHonourable Delhi High Court inthe case of Home Solutions RetailIndia Ltd & others [2009 (14) STR433 (Del)] clarified the taxableservice under this category coversonly services in relation to rentingand renting per-se. Though therewas a mention that it is not aservice, as there is no value

addition per-se, the decision wasrendered that it is not coveredwithin the scope of taxable servicedefinition. This had given scopefor a spate of litigations andrelying on the said decision thetenants stopped paying service taxto the landlords.In the Finance Bill 2010, there is aproposal giving a retrospect effectfrom 01.06.2007 whereby itspecifically covers ‘renting’ alongwith services in relation to renting.This is added along with validatingprovision allowing the departmentto recover the past dues to theGovernment in this regard viz.,service tax, interest and penalties.In the opinion of the paper writersthe Delhi High Court in the HomeSolutions case had not consideredfew other vital points, presentlypending before Supreme Court.Therefore it has to be seen howthe Supreme Court would givefinality to this amendment.How should we as CharteredAccountants advise our clientswho are tenants and landlordsafter the enactment of FinanceAct, 2010, till the verdict is givenby the Supreme Court? In theopinion of the paper writers thereare 3 options-

a. If the tenant is ready to pay theservice tax then the landlordcollects the same and remits it tothe department. However, it couldbe paid under protest.

b. Irrespective of the fact whethertenant pays the service tax or not,the landlord can pay the taxesunder protest to avoid interest andpenalty.

c. Await the decision of the SupremeCourt and face the consequence.

Each of the options may be chosendepending on the level of riskacceptable by the landlords/tenants.

c. Air Passenger Transport –Exemption is provided onStatutory taxes charged by anyGovernment (including foreigngovernments, where a passengerdisembarks) on air passengerwould be excluded from taxablevalue for the purpose of levy ofservice tax under Air PassengerTransport Service – NotificationNo 15/2010-ST

d. Erection, commissioning orinstallation-Exemption is given if a service isprovided in relation to thefollowing -

• Mechanized Food Grain HandlingSystems, etc.

• Equipment for settingup orsubstantial expansion of coldstorage and

• Machinery for initial setting up orsubstantial expansion of units forprocessing of agricultural, apiary,horticulture, diary, poultry,aquatic, marine or meat products.– Notification No 12/2010-ST

e. Packaged or Canned Software -Information Technology softwarepacked intended for single use isbeing exempt from the whole ofservice tax if the followingconditions are fulfilled viz.,

• License/document which givesright to use should be packedalong with software.

• Manufacturer, duplicator orperson holding the copyrights/importer should have dischargedduties of excise/customs on theamount received from the buyer.

• No exemption is claimed on thevalue attributable to right to usesoftware is claimed under CentralExcise or Customs.Basically, if we examine theconditions it appears that eitherexcise duty or customs duty is tobe paid on packaged software, toavail this exemption.[Notifications – 2/2010 & 17-2010-ST]

f. Transportation of Goods byRail –Exempts specified goods likedefence/military equipments,railway equipments/materials,food grains etc., transported by rail.Notification No - 08/2010-ST.

g. Vocational TrainingVocational Training Services wereexempted and definition for thesame was given as training orcoaching to enable the trainee toseek employment or undertakeself-employment, directly aftersuch training or coaching. It isamended w.e.f. 27.02.2010 toconfine the exemption only toinstitutes and industrial trainingCentres affiliated to the NationalCouncil of Vocational Training(NCVT) and offering courses inthe designated trades coveredunder Schedule I of TheApprentice Act, 1961. The Listfiguring under Schedule I of theAct covers engineering as well asnon-engineering skills/trade –Notification No - 3/2010-ST.

h. Group Personal AccidentSchemeExemption from Service tax,presently available to GroupPersonal Accident Schemeprovided by Government ofRajasthan to its employees, under

General Insurance Service isbeing withdrawn -NotificationNo. 5/2010-ST.

i. Sponsorship ServiceThe definition of sponsorshipspecifically excluded the servicesin relation to sports. The exclusionrelating to sponsorship pertainingto sports is being removed. Thiscould be because of big stakesinvolved in the recent IPLmatches.

j. Transportation of Goods byRoad –Exemption for transportation offruits, vegetables, eggs or milkunder GTA Services is extendedto include even ‘food grains andpulses’ – Notification No. 04/2010-ST.

k. Information TechnologySoftware Service -The taxability of InformationTechnology Software serviceswas confined only to cases wheresuch software was used forfurtherance of trade or commerceand was not covering suchservices which were not so used.

In the Finance Bill, it is proposedto remove such distinction and taxall the information technologysoftware service irrespective of itsusage.

l. Services provided in an airportor portThere was confusion amongst theassessees whether the servicesrendered at the port or airportshould be classified under specificcategory or general category. Thedefinition of port/airport used thewords ‘any person authorized byport/airport’ but there was nospecific procedure to authorize a

service provider to undertake aparticular activity. The assessee/scontention was that the airportauthority had not specificallyauthorized anybody for renderingthe services at the port/airport andpretext of which the assessees wereclaiming tax exemption. In theFinance Bill 2010, it is proposedto cover all the services providedwithin the port by any person underthe category of port service.Further it is also explained that ifthe entire services are providedwithin the port, the same has to beclassified as port/airport serviceswithout getting into classificationprinciples set out in Section 65A.

m. Transportation of passengers byair serviceThe taxation under this categorywas confined only to internationalflights and economy class wasexcluded. But in the Finance Bill2010, there is proposal to coverdomestic flights as well aseconomy class within the tax net.

n. Auction by GovernmentNew explanation has beeninserted which wants to giveclarity on the phrase ‘auction bythe Government’ in theAuctioneers service which wasintroduced earlier. The serviceexcluded ‘auction by theGovernment.’ This has createdsome confusion because therewere transactions which includedproperty that belonged to theGovernment auctioned by privatepeople or property of privatepeople auctioned by theGovernment. Now the proposalstates that ‘Auction by theGovernment’ means Governmentproperty being auctioned by anyperson acting as an auctioneer.
