Taxation Controversy O' Controversies - VAT et al

itatonline
Kone Elevator India Pvt. Ltd vs. State of T. N (Supreme Court - 5 Judge Bench) on itatonline.org!

Tentative/Sporadic:
One is not at all clear , much less can venture and say definitively to what extent or in what manner the ratio of the SC ‘s changed opinion on the two basic concepts of ‘sale’ and ‘works’ contract, or such similar likely developments in judge made law, is going to influence or impact the prevailing controversies galore in relation to other types of activities as well e.g. ‘construction’ (of say, immovable property of the kind- ‘flats’). And, likewise, what is in store after the long o/s enactment viz. on GST happens is well-nigh impossible to fore-see or -say. But, the strong indications , as may be well imagined, it appears, are towards an inevitable escalation of the vexing divide even now prevalent in the matter of revenue sharing between the Union and the States. In short, any hope on stability or uniformity in the understanding, interpretation and implementation of such or other related / connected tax legislation, be it of the Union or States, might turn out to be, and remain as ever before,  a pipe dream.
 
Over to equipped and enlightened ‘experts’ for an in-depth deliberation, on profoundly useful lines.

OPINION

We don’t need no litigation

Frivolous litigation, led by the government, is one of the reasons India ranks low in the ease of doing business index »Double  ‘-‘ one ‘+’
At Random :
Frivolous, in fructuous, endless, inconclusive, vexatious, think of any other- will find to aptly fit in.
Not only in the realm of IT Law.
The root cause of it all, if cared to, lies in the utmost  inept and mindless drafting, as evidenced by the inevitable complexity and complicity experienced/demonstrated in administration and adjudication. Suggest a hidden collusion and deliberate aim at proliferation of, to reach the horizon!
 Consider for instance the new innovation – recently enacted company code.
A cursory or random  but insightful glance is bound to throw up any number of patently clumsy drafting, having in store the glaring  potential  for ‘litigation’; examples >

1.       Chaps. XXVII  AND  XXVIII – COPIOUS SCOPE  KEPT AJAR
2.       SEC 227 – ALMOST A BLANKET BUT UNWARRANTED PROTECTION - RATIONALE?
3.       SEC 245 – AMONG VERY MANY OTHERS, SUB-SECTION (9) – RATIONALE BEHIND EXCLUDING BANKING COMPANY FROM THE PURVIEW ?
4.       SEC 423 – APPEAL TO SC – ‘QUESTION OF LAW’ – MEANING /SCOPE?

The CBDT has issued Circular No. 08/2014 dated 30.03.2014 to deal with the controversial topic as to whether, if the income of the firm is Nil on account of an exemption under Chapter III or deduction under Chapter VI-A of the Act, the partners will also be entitled to claim exemption u/s 10(2A) of the Act with respect to their share in the profits of the firm. The CBDT has clarified that the term “total income” in s. 10(2A) includes income which is exempt or deductible under various provisions of the Act. It is stated that the income of a firm is taxable only in the hands of the firm and can under no circumstances be taxed in the hands of the partner. The CBDT has made it clear that the entire income credited to the partners’ account in the firm would be exempt from tax in the hands of the partners, even if the firm is also not chargeable to tax on account of an exemption or deduction (Read analysis of Circular in Business Standard).
