....ating the fact that the definition of total turnover in Explanation (ba) below section 80HHC(4B), as distinct from the definition of export turnover in Explanation (b), does not provide for such exclusion and in the mercantile system of accounting followed by the assessee turnover depends on sale and not on the realization of sale proceeds. (2) On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, learned CIT(A) erred in directing the Assessing Officer to exclude direct costs pertaining to the export of the goods whose export proceeds were not realized, from the direct cost attributable to export of trading goods in the computation of deduction under section 80HHC, without appreciating the fact that the definition of direct costs in Expla....

....export has been computed by the Assessing Officer at Rs. 3,61,488 as against Rs. 8,58,453 claimed by the assessee. On appeal, learned CIT(A) accepted the contention of the assessee that since only trading export, of which sale proceeds is realized, is considered for the purpose of calculating deduction under section 80HHC with regard to profit from trading export, direct cost and indirect cost should be considered with regard to realized trading export only; and, hence, deduction allowable to the assessee with regard to trading export should be as claimed by the assessee.

....ng export turnover has to be considered and hence, we are of the considered opinion that the Assessing Officer has correctly calculated the adjusted total turnover by reducing the realized trading export turnover of Rs. 57,71,508 from total turnover of Rs. 99,49,072 and in view of this, Ground No.1 of the revenue is allowed and order of learned CIT(A) on this aspect is reversed and that of the Assessing Officer is restored. Before parting, we want to point out that if contention of the assessee is accepted and both realized and unrealized trading export turnover is reduced from total turnover, the assessee will get extra deduction because profit on account of unrealized trading export turnover stands included in adjusted profit of business ....
