1. Exotic Fruits (P.) Ltd. v. Income-tax Officer (International Taxation) Ward -1(1), Bangalore, IT APPEAL NOS. 1008 TO 1013 (BANG.) OF 2012, Date of Order: OCTOBER  4, 2013 – ITAT – Banglore.

Where assessee had paid export commission to its non-resident agent, in view of fact that services of non-resident agents were rendered outside India and commission was also paid outside India, income of such agent by way of commission could not be considered as accrued or arisen or deemed to be accrued or arisen in India

Assessee's agents based abroad have never rendered any services in India. Admittedly, none of the assessee's agents have their offices or business establishments in India for rendering such services to the assessee. The commissions to such agents have been paid not in India but overseas. Since no part of the services were rendered by such agents in India, no income arose on the payment of commissions to such agents and, consequently, as rightly argued by the assessee, the question of deduction of tax at source under section 195 doesn't arise.

2. Commissioner Of Income Tax vs. M/S Jogendra Singh & Company, ITA No. - 1 of 2014, Date of Order : 06.01.2014, Allahabad High Court.

Whether the ITAT erred in law in deleting the additions made U/s 68 on the basis of affidavits only, ignoring the provisions and spirit and aim of the legislature
in formulating Section 68.

Held Yes

During the stage of the remand proceeding, the assessee had filed by way of affidavits confirmations from the creditors. Subsequently, three remaining creditors had also filed confirmations. The Tribunal has compared the same with the list of sundry creditors in the balance-sheet for the earlier year ending on 31 March 2007. It has been found that the creditors have provided building material for civil construction work and road roller and JCB machine for the use of the business activities of the assessee and, therefore, if some outstanding amount was left due at the end of the financial year, which was confirmed by the creditors, this could not be regarded as an unexplained liability.
