W.A. Guff Vs. Commissioner of Income-tax, Bombay City

Court : Mumbai

Reported in : [1957]31ITR826(Bom)

..... it also seems to us, apart from the authorities, that it is the better view to take of this expression, because if an employee loses his employment which is source of his income any payment made by his employer for that loss should not be looked upon as income liable to tax, as in its very nature the payment is to compensate for or to act as a solatium for the very source which produced the income and in respect of which the employee is liable to tax. 3. ..... we are, therefore, of the opinion that the expression 'compensation for loss of employment' used in explanation 2 to section 7 refers to any payment made, whether under a legal liability or voluntarily, to compensate or act as a solatium for the loss of employment suffered by the employee. 8. ..... in other words, did the legislature merely contemplate the factual loss of employment and any amount paid for that loss, whether that payment was under a legal liability or not as we shall presently point our, the authorities to which our attention has been drawn have given to the expression 'compensation' a wider connotation. ..... arthur foster defines the term 'compensation for loss of office,' which he characterizes as a well-known term, as meaning 'a payment to the holder of an office as compensation for being derived of profits to which as between himself and his employer he would, but for an act of deprivation by his employer or some third party such as the legislature, have been entitled.' 7. .....
