..... chine Works 290 ITR 667. In this case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held as under: The principle reason for enacting a formula in section 80HHC of the Income Tax Act, 1961, is to disallow a part of the concession thereunder when the entire deduction claimed cannot be regarded as relating to exports. Therefore, while interpreting the words total turnover in the formula in section 80HHC one has to give a schematic interpretation. The various amendments made therein show that receipts by way of brokerage, commission, interest, rent, etc., do not form part of business profits as they have no nexus with the activity of export.

..... plied to the assessee at 1.05 US $. Since the value of Euro is much higher than the US dollar, therefore, price charged to the assessee was justified. As far as the other two items i.e. Amdea 05 and Butyl, Acrylate are concerned, in both these cases, the difference in price is about 4% which is less than 5% and thus, no adjustment could have been made because 2nd proviso to sub-sec.(2) of sec.92C clearly provides that if variation between the arms length price determined by the authorities and the price at which the transaction took place does not exceed 5%, then the actual price shall be taken to be the arms length price. 13.

Second Proviso to sec. 92C(2) reads as under: Provided further that if the variation between the arm's length price so determined and price at which the international transaction has actually been undertaken does not exceed five per cent of the latter, the price at which the international transaction has actually been undertaken shall be deemed to be the arm's length price.
