2017 (2) TMI 903 - AT - Income TaxDepreciation on Goodwill - Held that:- Explanation 3 states that the expression “asset” shall mean an intangible asset, being know-how, patents, copyrights, trademarks, licences, franchises or any other business or commercial rights of similar nature. A reading the words “any other business or commercial rights of similar nature” in clause (b) of Explanation 3 indicates that goodwill would fall under the expression “any other business or commercial right of a similar nature:. The principle of ejusdem generic would strictly apply while interpreting the said expression which finds place in Explanation 3(b). In the circumstances, we are of the view that “goodwill” is an asset under Explanation 3(b) to section 32(1) of the Act.
