The State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Thangadurai

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-24-1982

Reported in: [1983]52STC279(Mad)

Ramanujam, J. 1. This revision is filed by the State against the decision of the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, deleting the quantum of penalty levied by the assessing authority under section 12(3) of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, while sustaining the assessment made on the respondent-assessee. The assessee in this case was treated as a dealer in the groundnut oil by the assessing authority, rejecting the assessee's contention that he is only a broker and not a dealer in respect of the entire transaction in the assessment year. On this basis the assessing authority, in the course of best judgment, finalised the assessment holding that the assessee is liable to pay sales tax at a turnover of Rs. 66,532 and also a penalty of Rs. 4,039. The assessee disputed the entire assessment as also the levy of penalty before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner.

Ramanujam, J. 1.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-23-1982

Reported in: [1983]140ITR1003(Mad)

Ramanujam, J.1. The assessee is a private limited company engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of sugar. For the assessment year 1964-65 (year ending June 30, 1963), the assessee returned a loss of Rs. 2,75,355 in the sugar mill business. The ITO, however, did not accept the return, but after making an addition of Rs. 4,17,847 computed the income at Rs. 1,13,976. The addition of Rs. 4,17,847 by the ITO, to the income returned by the assessee, was under two heads: (1) Rs. 3,71,136 being the refund of excise duty and (2) 46,711, being the recovery of export losses, and this was challenged by the assessee before the AAC. The AAC deleted the addition of the sum of Rs. 4,17,847. The Revenue took the matter in appeal, and the Tribunal upheld the order of the AAC though slightly for a different reason. Aggrieved against the order of the Tribunal, the Revenue has sought and obtained a reference to this court on the following question of law: 'Whether, on the facts and in the circums...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-22-1982

Reported in: [1984]148ITR396(Mad)

Balasubrahmanyan, J.1. In this case arising under I.T. Act, 1961, the assessee had made a claim for deduction of Rs. 59,465 in the account year ended May 31, 1969, relevant to the assessment year 1970-71. The deduction claimed was in respect of the value of certain tools and implements. The assessee is a manufacturing concern. It produce radiator parts. In the process of manufacturing these articles, tools and implements are being used. It is needless to say that the tools are short-lived. They become use less or obsolete in a couple of years, so that the assessee has to be constantly replacing old tools with new ones. In terms of accounting, what the assessee does is to writ down the value of the tools every year by a certain figure, claiming the figure as a deduction, in arriving at the year's net profits. This deduction does not represent either an outgoing or an item of expenditure, but was claimed as an allowance by the assessee apparently as an itemised loss or, at any rate, as a...
