Estate Duty Act, 1953 - property - levy of estate duty ... ... ... ... ..... that clause 8 did not confer any estate or interest in the deceased such as would enable him to dispose of the settled properties in such manner as he liked. We must accordingly hold that the deceased was not competent at the time of his death to dispose of the settled properties and the settled properties did not fall the mischief of section 6. Our answer to the question referred to us therefore is that the value, as on the death of the deceased, of the properties settled by the deceased under the settlement dated 27th January, 1951, was liable to inclusion in the principal value of the estate of the deceased as property passing under section 12(1) of the Estate Duty Act, 1953, while the value of the property settled by Bai Jasud under the said settlement was not liable to inclusion in the principal value of the estate of the deceased as property deemed to pass on his death either under section 6 or section 12 of that Act. There will be no order as to costs of the reference.

1968 (9) TMI 45 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT
Gift - liability to gift-tax ... ... ... ... ..... acts clearly show that they were admitted as partners for consideration, the consideration being that with their experience gained by them as employees they would attend to the business of the firm, no remuneration would be payable to them as was being done till then, they would share not only in the assets but also in the liabilities of the firm and they would also participate in the future losses of the firm, if any. We are therefore of the view that even if there was a transfer by the assessee of his 19 nP. share in the firm to Mohanlal Karnaji and Govindlal Karnaji--- a matter on which we do not express any opinion---the transfer was not without consideration in money or money s worth and there was therefore no gift by the assessee to Mohanlal Karnaji and Govindlal Karnaji which would attract the liability to gift-tax under the Act. Our answer to the question referred to us therefore is in the negative. The Commissioner will pay the costs of the reference to the assessee.

Estate Duty Act, 1953 - value of the trust properties - chargeability to estate duty ... ... ... ... ..... tate or 65 of the share referable to Jarbanoo can be said to have been passed on the death of Mary. We have already indicated in the course of this judgment that qua 50 of the trust fund referable to the property brought in by Mary, section 12 is applicable and, therefore, 50 of the trust fund referable to property brought in by Mary must be deemed to have passed on Mary s death. As regards the remaining 50 , by operation of section 5 of the Act, only 65 of that 50 representing jarbanoo s share in the trust corpus can be said to have passed on Mary s death and out of the entire corpus, 50 representing Mary s share plus 32 1/2 (65 of the 50 share of Jarbanoo) can be included in the value of the state of the deceased. We, therefore, answer the question referred to us as follows The entire value of the trust properties is not chargeable to estate duty but only 82 1/2 thereof is chargeable to estate duty. In the special circumstances of this case, there will be no order to costs.

Levy of surchage on the salary portion of assessee's total income - validity ... ... ... ... ..... d super-tax are chargeable by deduction at source were not treated like salary income. The question of ascertaining the legislative intent for the purpose of construction arises only when the language employed in the particular provision is ambiguous or lacks in clarity. In our view, the language employed in sub-section (2) of section 2 of the Finance Act, 1964, does not suffer from any such defect. There is also the principle that a taxing statute has to be construed in favour of the subject, when a question of construction arises due to want of clarity or due to ambiguity in the language employed therein. We are, therefore, unable to accede to the contention of the learned counsel for the revenue. In the result, we answer the question referred to this court in the negative and in favour of the assessee. The parties will bear their own costs. A copy of this judgment will be forwarded to the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal as required by section 260 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
