  3. Chhattisgarh High Court · 04 Feb 2020
    What has also to be appreciated is that the provisional attachment is only an arrangement done to preserve the property until the authority completes the proceedings under the Act. The petitioner-assessee as well as the respondent No.5 also could appear before the authorities and put forward their defence and establish the fact that the property could not be termed as a benami property. Given the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not find any strong case made out by the petitioner calling for an interference with the impugned order.

    Laxmi Narayan Agrawal Vs Assistant Commissioner Of Income Tax

    (2020) TaxCorp(LJ) 20959 (HC-CHHATTISGARH)

  4. ITAT Mumbai · 05 Feb 2020
    A combined reading of the above provision of article 5(2)(l) read with related protocol clause clearly shows is that the service PE being triggered on account of rendition of services by a Swiss entity in India, or vice versa, can never make the assessee worse off so far as the tax liability in source jurisdiction is concerned. Unless the assessee has a lower tax liability on taxability of PE on net basis under article 7 vis-à-vis taxability of FTS on gross basis under article 12(2), the PE being triggered is in fact tax neutral. Nothing, therefore, turns in favour of the income tax department on account of service PE being triggered by the rendition of services.

  17. ITAT Jabalpur · 28 Jan 2020
    The jurisdictional HC had already dismissed employees' writ based on SC decision in Arun Kumar Vs Ors wherein such free or concessional supply of electricity was held to be perquisite. It is therefore not open for it to contend that the same is a perquisite on which tax is payable by the employees, saving it from being charged under FBT on the said benefit. That is, it cannot take refuge in its own default in pleading for a saving from another liability, so that one becomes an excuse for the other.
