Section 73 of CGST Act, 2017 GST

What had been transferred by non-resident assessee was neither copyright in software nor the use of copyright in the software, but right to use copyrighted material or article clearly distinct from rights in a copyright and same did not give rise to any royalty income. Regarding applicability of amendment in section 9(1)(vi) brought out by Finance Act, 2012, any change made to domestic law to rectify a situation of mistaken interpretation could not bring about a unilateral legislative amendment into DTAA concluded between two sovereign States, therefore, section 9(1)(vi) as amended was not applicable to assessee’s case and there could be no taxability in India.

Section 100 of MGST Act, 2017 GST

Though AO had issued notice under section 148 on 26-3-2014, i.e., within period of six years from the end of relevant assessment year, however, it was returned unserved by postal authorities and even notice by affixture was also served on 4-4-2014 and there was no report of AO containing names and addresses of witnesses having identified the property, therefore, in the absence of section 148 notice served within stipulated period, reassessment proceedings were invalid.

B.M. Land Developers & Builders v. ITO

Section 147 Direct Taxes

Haier Appliances India (P) Ltd. v. Asstt. STO

Section 129 of CGST Act, 2017 GST

The assessee had complied with conditions for grant of deduction under sections 54B inasmuch as he has utilised, within a period of two years from the date of transfer of capital asset, the capital gain in purchasing another land for being used for agricultural purposes, therefore, mere fact that assessee did not get legal title to the land could not be ground to deny benefit of deduction under sections 54B.

Chinnappa Anthonappa v. Asstt. CIT

Section 54B Direct Taxes

Provision of section 45(3) are exhaustive and does not confer any power on the AO to adopt consideration different from what is recorded in the books of account of the firm. Thus, AO was not correct in adopting the market value of land as revalued subsequently by the firm in the books of account. Further, provisions of section 45(3) are special provisions as these deem value of consideration which otherwise is not computable under general law and it is applicable to the specific situations of introduction of capital by partner to the firm and whereas the provisions of section 50C are general in nature and applicable whether consideration is known and determinate. Thus, when there is a specific provision in the statute to deal with a particular kind of transaction, then it would prevail over general provisions.
