Issues involved: Interpretation of tax law regarding the assessment of income from sales revenue of advertisement by the Tribunal for assessment years 2000-01 and 2002-03.
Summary: Issue 1: Assessment of income from sales revenue of advertisement The High Court considered the common question of law proposed for their consideration, which revolved around whether the assessee was a conduit of Star Limited and if the income from sales revenue of advertisement belonged to the assessee for assessment years 2000-01 and 2002-03. The Tribunal had previously allowed the claim of the respondent-assessee based on its earlier orders for the assessment year 1998-99. The Revenue did not challenge the order for 1998-99, and the Tribunal found no grounds to deviate from its previous decision. The Tribunal reaffirmed that the assessee company was established not solely for obtaining advertisements from India but also from other countries, indicating a genuine commercial purpose beyond tax benefits. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the independent existence of the respondent-assessee was valid and dismissed the appeals by the Revenue for the assessment years 2000-01 and 2002-03, citing consistency with the previous decision for 1998-99. In conclusion, the High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, emphasizing the lack of grounds for challenging the assessment of income from sales revenue of advertisement by the respondent-assessee for the relevant assessment years.
