2015 (6) TMI 981 - AT - Income TaxDeduction u/s.80IA on windmill power generation - CIT(A) allowed claim - Held that:- The issue is squarely covered by the judgment of jurisdictional high court in the case of Velayudhaswamy Spinning Mills (P) Ltd (2010 (3) TMI 860 - Madras High Court ) wherein held that the business undertaking of the assessee is wind mill power generation/hosiery goods, etc., and it has claimed the benefit of deduction under Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act for the assessment year in question and for the subsequent years as well. Having exercised its option and its losses have been set off already against other income of the business enterprise, the assessee in this appeal falls within the parameters of Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act. Being so, we are inclined to confirm the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) on this issue. - Decided in favour of assessee Disallowance made u/s.40(a)(i) r.w.s 195 - non deduction of TDS - CIT(A) deleted the addition - Held that:- nature of services mentioned above will come not within the definition of “fees for technical services” given under explanation 2 to Section 9(1)(vii) of the Act. By virtue of such services, the concerned recipients had not made available to the assessee any new technic or skill which assessee could use in its business. The services rendered by the said parties related to clearing, warehousing and freight charges, outside India. The logistics service rendered was essentially warehousing facility. In our opinion, this cannot be equated with managerial, technical or consultancy services. Even if it is considered as technical service, the fee was payable only for services utilized by the assessee in the business or profession carried on by the said nonresidents outside India. Such business or profession of the non-residents, earned them income outside India. Thus, it would fall within the exception given under sub-clause (b) of Section 9(1) of the Act. In any case, under Section 195 of the Act, assessee is liable to deduct tax only where the payment made to non-residents is chargeable to tax under the provisions of the Act. In the circumstances mentioned above, assessee was justified in having a bonafide belief that the payments did not warrant application of Section 195 of the Act. In such circumstances, we are of the opinion that it could not have been saddled with the consequences mentioned under Section 40(a)(i) of the Act. Disallowances were rightly deleted by the ld. CIT(Appeals). - Decided in favour of assessee
