2.  ITO Vs. M/s Planet Herbs Life Science, ITA No. 522/Del/2011, Date of pronouncement: 25/05/2012, ITAT- Delhi

Whether disallowance made by the Assessing Officer u/s 40a(ia) on account of an unverified maintenance expense is valid?

Held:

Section 195 of the Act clearly states that any person responsible for paying to a non resident any interest or any other sum chargeable under the provisions of this Act shall at the time of credit of such income will income tax thereon at the rate in force at the time of payment or credit. Therefore, the first test to be applied for deduction of TDS is to see whether income in the hands of payee is taxable in India or not. In the present case, the payments were reimbursement of expenses and was in no way income chargeable to tax in India in the hands of the payee and hence did not require any tax deduction at source and therefore addition made u/s 40a(ia) of the Act was not warranted.
