Assistant Commissioner of Entry Tax Vs. Mysore Sales Corporation

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-10-1991

Reported in: ILR1991KAR3717

Mohan, C.J.1. The short question that arises for our consideration is whether sewing machine could be subject to tax under Entry Tax and brought under Entry 7 of the Schedule to the Karnataka Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas for Consumption Use or Sale Therein Act, 1979 (Karnataka Act 27/1979) (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act').2. The learned single Judge while dealing with this issue in series of Writ Petitions by Judgment dated 19-1-1990 considered the scope of this Entry and held that sewing machines do not fit in to the concept of definition of 'Industrial Machinery' under Entry 7, and therefore not exigible to tax under the Act. It is under these circumstances the present Appeals have come to be preferred.3. The contention of the Revenue which is the appellant before us is, if the sewing machines could be used in garment factory undoubtedly it is an industrial machinery and therefore the learned single Judge ought to have had regard for the user. Merely because a sewing ...

K. Shivashankar Bhat, J. 1. The question referred to us under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 ('the Act' for short), reads thus : 'On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, was the Appellate Tribunal right in law in cancelling the order passed by the Commissioner of the Income-tax under section 263 ?' 2. The Commissioner of Income-tax invoked the provisions of section 263 and directed the Income-tax Officer to include in the assessment of the assessee, herein, the income derived by a trust since the assessee's minor son was the sole beneficiary of the trust. The commissioner, for this purpose, invoked the provisions of section 64(1)(iii) of the Act read with Explanation 2A. The assessee contended that as per the trust deed, the income of the trust was to be accumulated and to be handed over to the minor son on his attaining majority and, therefore, section 64(1) was not attracted.
