2019 (9) TMI 143 - AT - Income Tax


Issues:
1. Interpretation of Section 10A deduction eligibility based on disallowed expenses under Section 40(a)(ia).
2. Application of case law precedent in determining deduction eligibility under Section 10A.

Issue 1:
The appeal by the revenue challenged the order of the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) regarding the disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) affecting the deduction under Section 10A for the Assessment Year 2011-12. The Assessing Officer disallowed a sum under Section 40(a)(ia), leading to the question of whether this disallowance impacts the eligibility for deduction under Section 10A. The ld. CIT(A) reversed the Assessing Officer's decision, following the decision of the jurisdictional High Court in a specific case. The revenue contended that the disallowance should not be considered for claiming Section 10A deduction. The Tribunal, after considering the arguments and case laws, upheld the ld. CIT(A)'s decision based on the precedent set by the High Court and dismissed the revenue's appeal.

Issue 2:
The Tribunal referenced a specific case where the High Court ruled on a similar issue regarding the interpretation of Section 10A deduction eligibility in light of disallowed expenses. The High Court held that the disallowance of certain contributions should not impact the deduction under Section 10A, as it led to an increase in business profits. The Tribunal also noted a decision by the ITAT Hyderabad Bench favoring the assessee on a similar issue. Based on these precedents and the absence of contrary facts or laws, the Tribunal affirmed the ld. CIT(A)'s order and dismissed the revenue's appeal. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of following established legal principles and case law precedents in determining deduction eligibility under Section 10A.

In conclusion, the Tribunal upheld the ld. CIT(A)'s decision, emphasizing the significance of legal precedents and established principles in interpreting tax laws and determining deduction eligibility under Section 10A. The Tribunal dismissed the revenue's appeal based on the consistent application of legal principles and case law precedents in similar cases.
