The following important judgements are available for download at itatonline.org.
Raptakos Brett & Co. Ltd vs. DCIT (ITAT Mumbai)
S. 10(38), 70(3): Though the LTCG on sale of equity shares (subject to STT) is exempt from tax u/s 10(38), the long-term capital loss on sale of such shares can be set-off against the taxable LTCG on sale of another asset
Section 10(38) excludes in expressed terms only the income arising from transfer of Long term capital asset being equity share or equity fund which is chargeable to STT and not entire source of income from capital gains arising from transfer of shares. It does not lead to exclusion of computation of capital gain of Long term capital asset or Short term capital asset being shares. Accordingly, Long term capital loss on sale of shares would be allowed to be set off against Long term capital gain on sale of land in accordance with section 70(3)
Santosh Kumar Kedia vs. ITO (ITAT Kolkata)
S. 40(a)(ia) second proviso is curative and retrospective. Legitimate business expenditure cannot be disallowed if the payee has paid tax thereon
The second proviso to section 40(a)(ia) of the Act inserted by the Finance Act, 2012 is curative in nature intended to supply an obvious omission, take care of an unintended consequence and make the section workable. Section 40(a)(ia) without the second proviso resulted in the unintended consequence of disallowance of legitimate business expenditure even in a case where the payee in receipt of the income had paid tax. It has for long been the legal position that if the payee has paid tax on his income, no recovery of any tax can be made from the person who had failed to deduct the income tax at source from such amount
ITO vs. Saraswati Educational Charitable Trust (ITAT Lucknow)
S. 11, 68, 115BBC: Law on taxing of "anonymous donations" received by a charitable trust explained
To be excluded from the definition of expression "anonymous donation" the person receiving the voluntary contributions referred to in section 2(24) (iia) is required to maintain a record of identity indicating the name and address of the contributor and such other particulars as may be prescribed. Since no other particulars have been prescribed under the provisions the person receiving the donation is under obligation to maintain the identity of donors indicating the name and address only
