document.write('The reassessment notice was issued to verify the genuineness of the Transaction. The assesse filed the objections to the recorded reasons on the ground that , inaccurate reasons for formation of belief, reassessment cannot be done in the absence of tangible material, income chargeability to tax escapement of assessment, and eligibility to claim tax treaty benefits between India and Singapore. The Objection was dimmed by the  Assessing Officer. On writ allowing  the petition, the Court held that  the revenue cannot go behind the tax residency certificate issued by the other tax jurisdiction and issue a re-assessment notice to determine issues of residence status, treaty eligibility and legal ownership. The act of the revenue is wholly contrary to the Government of India’s repeated assurances to foreign investors by way of CBDT Circulars, press releases, legislative amendments and judicial pronouncements.   It was also held that the reassessment proceedings cannot be initiated for verifying the genuineness of a transaction, on the basis of borrowed satisfaction, and without a live link between the material and formation to believe. Further, it was also held that the concept of beneficial ownership under DTAA is only qua dividend, interest and royalty, and not capital gains.

document.write('The assessment was completed u/s 143(3) of the Act . In the course of assessment proceedings specific query was raised regarding loan taken and utilisation thereof during assessment proceeding  and answered.  The reassessment notice was issued on the ground that the interest expense cannot be allowed as a deduction to the assessee either under section 24(b) or under section 57 of the Act. On writ allowing the petition the Court held that entire basis was from available records and once a conclusive view had been taken by Assessing Officer, another officer could not rely on same documents or information to take a view different from view already taken . Therefore reopening of assessment being mere change of opinion was not justified . Accordingly the notice of reassessment and order disposing the objection was quashed . (AY.2006-07)  ');

document.write('The Assessing Officer adjusted the refund without giving any prior intimation. On writ allowing the petition the Court held that where a party raises objection in response to the intimation, the Assessing Officer exercising powers under section 245 of the Act must record reasons why the objection was not sustainable and also communicate it to the assessee and this would ensure that the power of adjustment under section 245 of the Act is not exercised arbitrarily. On facts of the case the Court held that action of the Assessing Officer making the adjustment without prior intimation is bad in law and illegal hence quashed. (AY. 2008-09) (WP.

document.write('Held that the liability of an airline to deduct tax at source on supplementary commission had admittedly not been adjudicated upon by the court when the controversy first arose in assessment year 2001-02. While one set of air carriers acted under the assumption that the supplementary commission would come within the ambit of the provisions of the Act, another set held the opposite view. There were contradictory pronouncements by different High Courts which clearly highlighted the genuine and bona fide legal conundrum that was raised by the prospect of section 194H being applied to the supplementary commission.  provision must be read with section 273B which excuses an otherwise defaulting assessee from levy of penalties under certain circumstances. There was clearly an arguable and “nascent” legal issue that required resolution by the Supreme Court and, hence, there was “reasonable cause” for the air carriers not to have deducted tax at source at the relevant period. Accordingly the  penalty proceedings against the airlines under section 271C of the Act was   quashed. (AY.2001-02)');
