Transfer pricing – adjustment to ALP – Revenue contended that distinct operating profit margin to cost in the preceding year qua the AEs and non-AEs should not be applied to the ratio of operating profit to cost in the current year on a combined basis – Held that:- Nature of international transactions in the year under consideration with its AE s are similar to the preceding year and Operating profit margin for the current year compares favorably with that finally determined for the preceding year therefore, CIT(A) order of deleting addition is upheld. Addition on account of non-charging of interest on trade debtors from the AEs – Held that:- Section 92B transpires that the transactions of 'sale' and 'lending ... money' have been distinctly set out. It is evident that interest income is associated only with the lending or borrowing of money and not with sale. When the international transaction is that of 'sale', the interest aspect is embedded in it. Early or late realization of sale proceeds is only incidental to the transaction of sale, but not a separate transaction in itself. No adjustment is warranted. Further, relevant consideration is the taxation of the enterprises of the group that are chargeable to tax in India. If the concept of over all higher or lower rate/amount of tax in the other countries in which AEs are situated is taken into consideration, then Chapter-X of the Income-tax Act would become meaningless.

Fees for technical services – Revenue treated transportation fees receivable as FTS u/s 9(1)(vii) – Hongkong company – engaged in the business of provision of supply chain management, including the provision of freight and forwarding and logistics services – Held that:- In instant case, role of the assessee in the entire transaction was to perform only the destination services outside India by unloading and loading of consignment, custom clearance and transportation to the ultimate customer. In our opinion, it is too much to categorize such restricted services as managerial services. Further, use of computer in tracing the movement of the goods, though indirect, remote and not necessary, can not bring the payment for freight and logistics services within the purview of "technical services". Also, section 9(1)(i) cannot be invoked since assessee rendered "International services" outside India - Decided in favor of assessee.

2012 (2) TMI 364 - AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULINGS
Income deemed to accrue or arise in India - export commission payable to non-resident agents – withholding of tax - Held that:- No doubt the agents rendered services abroad and have solicited orders, but the right to receive the commission arises in India when the order is executed by the applicant in India. We therefore hold such export commission payable to be deemed to accrue and arise in India, and is taxable in view of the specific provision of Section 5(2)(b) r.w.s. 9(1)(i). Applicant has not contended that it is availing benefits under the provision of DTAA with Pakistan nor has it a claim of tax exemption under any provision of the Act. The provision of section 195 would apply.

Revisionary order passed u/s 263 - Long-term capital gains - 'Deemed transfer' of property u/s 2(47)(v) - dis-allowance of exemption u/s 54EC reckoning period of six months for the deposit in bonds from the date of agreement and receipt of part payment at the first instance – Held that:- Admittedly, assessee received part payments after execution of agreement to sale and handing over of possession thereby completing the transaction in terms of section 53A of Transfer of Property Act and invested in specified bonds i.e. NABARD bonds within one month of the receipt of sale consideration being part payment. In our view, in such case, the period of six months for making deposit u/s. 54EC should be reckoned from the dates of actual receipt of the consideration. Therefore, assessee is eligible for exemption u/s 54EC on part payment received – Decided in favor of assessee.

Penalty u/s 271D - unsecured loan received in cash / bearer cheques – assessee contending them to be share application money – Held that:- Tribunal while deleting penalty took view that assessee company had entertained a bona fide belief of non-applicability of Section 269SS on loans accepted from its directors/ shareholders. Whereas records reveal that company specificaly pleaded the same to be share application money and not loans or deposits at all. How can it said that the company was under such bona fide belief of non-applicability of S 269SS on loans. Rule 2(b)(ix) of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 would also have no application in the present case wherein it is held that deposit does not include any amount received from a director or a shareholder of a private limited company. Further, shelter u/s 273B is granted if it is established that for some bona fide reasons the assessee could not get a loan or deposit by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft which is absent in present case. Therefore, order of tribunal cancelling the penalty is set aside – Decided in favor of revenue.
