ITAT: Notional rental income addition u/s. 23 on Builder’s unsold flats, unsustainable

Mumbai ITAT deletes  notional income addition  u/s. 23  towards annual letting value of unsold flats of Runwal builders (‘assessee’) during AY 2012-13; ITAT observes that flats sold by assessee were assessed under the head ‘income from business’ and the unsold flats were treated as its stock-in-trade, therefore holds that AO was incorrect in taxing notional value of unsold flats under the head ‘income from house property’; Relies on co-ordinate bench ruling in C.R. Developers Pvt. Ltd wherein Revenue’s reliance on Delhi HC ruling in Ansal Housing Finance & Leasing Co. Ltd. was rejected, notes that the coordinate bench had derived analogy from SC ruling in Chennai properties to reject applicability of Sec. 23; Also relies on Gujarat HC ruling in Neha Builders Pvt.Ltd.:ITAT
The ruling was delivered by the ITAT bench of Shri C.N. Prasad and Shri A.L. Saini

Mr. Rishabh Shah argued on behalf of the assessee while the Revenue was represented by Mr. V. Vidhyadhar

Note:

Delhi HC in Ansal Housing and Construction [TS-418-HC-2016(DEL)] had ruled in favour of Revenue and had reversed ITAT order holding that Sec. 22 and 23 were inapplicable to properties owned by the assessee. HC  had distinguished the assessee’s reliance on SC decision in Chennai Properties & Investments Ltd. [TS-238-SC-2015] as the main object of assessee therein was holding the properties and earning income by letting out properties, as against assessee in Ansal Housing case where letting out of properties was not part of its objects.

SC had admitted SLP against Delhi HC ruling in Ansal-Housing.

It is noteworthy that Finance Act 2017 amended Sec. 23 to insert sub-section (5) which provides that where the property consisting of any building or land appurtenant thereto is held as stock-in-trade and the property or any part thereof is not let during relevant previous year, the annual value of such property, for the period up to one year from the end of the financial year in which the certificate of completion of construction of the property is obtained from the competent authority, shall be taken to be nil.

CBEC

 

CBEC has issued a circular clarifying the position w.r.t Refund of IGST on Export – Export General Manifest (Extra Ordinary General Meeting) Error related cases. To address the problems related to IGST refund, CBEC has already issued Circulars which highlighted the common errors and combination of error that hindered the sanction and disbursal of refund of IGST paid against exports. In Order to overcome this issue, the Shipping lines have been mandated to include the shipping bills originating from ICDs while filing the electronic EGMs at the gateway ports. In cases where the EGMs have not incorporated the shipping bills pertaining to ICDs, the Shipping lines/agents have been asked to file supplementary EGMs. In order to ensure a hassle free processing of refund claims, the following steps may be ensured by the jurisdictional officers in ICDs: (a) filing of local EGM i.e train or truck summary, as the case may be, immediately after cargo leaves the port, (b) liaising with jurisdictional officers at gateway port for incorporation of Shipping Bills pertaining to the cargo originating in ICDs, in the EGMs filed at gateway port by the Shipping lines/agents (c) rectification of errors in local and gateway EGM, wherever necessary.

Therefore the aging analysis of the debtors and creditors is to be done. all old invoices issued before 1st October, 2017, should be paid
before 31st March 2018.
Ex. Suppose the fees Rs. 10000 is payable to the Chartered Accountant on 15th September, 2017, and the credit on that of Rs. 1800 has been taken in

Therefore, it is necessary to take the registration under E way bill system before
31st March.

3. Reconciliation – All the taxpayers should reconcile the cash ledger, credit ledger and liability ledger with their books of accounts. All the entries should be done before the year end. Also debit note, credit note, rate difference,
discount, etc. also to be reconciled.

4. HSN Code in the Invoice – Before preparing first invoice in the new financial year, taxpayers should check the turnover for the year 2017-18. Taxpayers
whose turnover is above Rs. 1.5 crores but below Rs. 5 crores shall use 2-digit code and the taxpayers whose turnover is Rs. 5 crores and above shall use 4-digit code. Taxpayers whose turnover is below Rs. 1.5 crores are not
required to mention HSN Code in their invoices.

5. New series for tax invoice – If anyone wants to change the series for billing in the New Year, then he can do that from 1st April. New numbering should
be started form 1st April.

6. Composition scheme – If any taxpayer wants to register under composition scheme then he can apply in Form GST CMP – 02 before 31st March. Similarly,

CBEC

 

CBEC has observed instances where exporters are committing errors while filing refund claims and to help them, the department has started giving out refunds partially with manual intervention. To ease exporters' GST refund woes, revenue authorities will set up camps across the country for a fortnight beginning March 15, 2018 to March 29, 2018. There are going to be camps all over the country so that all exporters can come with refund problem and they will be explained what their problem is, they will be asked to rectify it and then the process will completed and refund will be given. The GST Council in its recent meeting decided to implement e-wallet scheme for refunds to exporters by October 1. Under the e-wallet mechanism, a notional credit would be transferred to the exporters account based on their past record and the credit can be used to pay taxes on input. Accordingly, merchant exporters can pay a tax at the rate of 0.1 per cent on goods procured for export purposes and obtain a refund for the same.Also, domestic procurement made under Advance Authorisation, EPCG and EOU schemes are being recognised as 'deemed exports' with flexibility for either the suppliers or the exporters being able to claim a refund of GST/IGST paid thereon.

 

SEBI

 

SEBI has passed an Order providing exit to the Universal Commodity Exchange Limited (UCX). UCX is the sixth Commodity Derivatives Exchange / deemed stock exchange to exit after the merger of Forward Markets Commission (FMC) with SEBI.
