As financial professionals we are aware of the problems facingthe Indian economy and am sure Members are doing their bestto mitigate issues faced by the layman. The volatilecombination of high inflation, tight monetary policy, weakglobal economic conditions and slow implementation of fiscal policies and reforms have put a dent in India Inc. But the recentdecision to reinstate P. Chidambaram as Finance Minister hasbeen welcomed by Industry and the mood is upbeat. RBI, too, istrying to motivate the Government to restart theimplementation of shelved reforms by allowing FDI insupermarkets and the aviation industry.
Our former Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has beenelevated to the highest post the country can offer. We can beproud that a statesman of his stature and calibre will grace the post of the President of India and take this opportunity tocongratulate the new President of India.
The latest policy review by RBI has seen interest ratesunchanged. However, the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) hasbeen reduced by 1% so as to increase the flow of credit toindustry. This SLR reduction will bring down lending rates,release funds for private sector and improve the profitability ofprivate sector banks.
The recent blackout of North, North East and East India hascaused a disruption in the filing of returns, hence the ITdepartment has extended the deadline for filing of returnswhich were required to be filed by July 31st to August 31st.While this directive will ease the pressure on Members, I wouldlike to remind them of the saying, “Do not wait to strike till theiron is hot; but make it hot by striking.”In short, Members shouldencourage and remind their clients to file their returns inadvance and not wait till the last possible moment.
Last month I visited WIRC branches at Gandhidham andBhavnagar in Gujarat and Jalgaon, Akola, Amravati, Kolhapur,Sangli and Latur in Maharashtra as well as the Dhule andIchalkaranji chapters. I have now visited all the branches acrossthe whole of the Western Region and am proud to say that the brotherhood, camaraderie, efficiency and dedicated efforts putin by the Members of our Branches is truly praiseworthy.
This sincere dedication of Members is the reason why WIRCConferences and Seminars are so successful. A recent example being the National Tax Conference held in Surat which was verywell attended and acclaimed by all.
WIRC has always been in the forefront in encouraging students.The recent International and National Student Conferencesheld at Nagpur and Aurangabad respectively were a reflectionof this ethos where we saw our brilliant students make a markby presenting their own research papers.
The 27th Regional Conference is scheduled for 31st August and1st September.To enable Members to derive maximum benefit,this unique Conference has been designed in a manner that
Members can get the best out of verticals most relevant to eachindividual. Members are requested to attend this flagship WIRCevent and partake of the knowledge disseminated therein.
I am happy to say that the ICAI Bhawan under construction atBandra-Kurla Complex is on the cusp of fruition. This landmark and prestigious structure will shortly be dedicated in the serviceof the nation and to all our Members and Students within amonth. It will house state of the art infrastructural amenitiesand facilities including Conference rooms, Auditorium, ITCentre, Student's Classrooms, etc.
The month of August has ushered in the festive season. Thismonth we celebrate the bond that exists between brothers andsisters with Raksha Bandhan as well as the holy month ofShravan and Ramadan. My best wishes to all our Members,brothers and sisters on the auspicious occasions of RakshaBandhan as well as Ramadan.
The celebration of Independence Day is also a time forretrospection. Let us go beyond words and work to uplift ourcountry and people in whichever small way we can.To make thishappen we have to realise that we are all inventors, each sailingout on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, ofwhich there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, allopportunities.
We have to realise that true independence can only be achievedwhen we have eradicated poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition andsocial ills to become a healthy and progressive nation. CAs arelooked upon as the guardians of financialintegrity, let us take a small stepforward and also become guidinglights in the struggle to better the lifeof our fellow Indians, rememberingthe words,
With warm regards,

Reasonable opportunity does not merely mean an opportunity being given.The opportunity has to be reasonable. There should be adequate notice. Thenotice must be of sufficient length to enable the defence or the case to beprepared. Not only should a person know the case which is made against himbut he must also know what evidence has been considered for drawing apresumption affecting him and he must be given a fair and reasonableopportunity to rebut the presumption. Furnishing specific and intelligiblereasons for the proposed action is the concomitant of the concept ofreasonable opportunity. It is necessary because the person could make aneffective representation only with reference to reasons set out. Such reasonscannot be vague and too general in nature.There must be specific and basedon material facts. Omission to comply with the requirement of audi alterampartem, as a general rule, vitiates a decision. When there is violation ofnatural justice no resultant or independent prejudice need be shown as thedenial of natural justice is in itself a prejudice. Rule of law and not the rule ofdiscretion is the basic feature of Constitution of India.
Duty to act fairly is a part of the fair procedure envisaged under articles 14and 21 of the Constitution. Guarantee of article 14 is violated if fair hearing isnot given. Every act of the public authority or those under public obligationmust be informed by reason and guided by public interest. Fair hearing is a postulate of decision-making. Fair hearing means that not only the affectedshould know the case which is made against him, but he must also knowwhat evidence has been considered for drawing a presumption affectinghim and is given a fair and real opportunity to rebut the presumption. Suchopportunity should be real and not ritualistic, effective and not illusory, andmust be followed by fair consideration of the explanation offered and thematerials available, culminating in an order which discloses reasonssufficient to show that the mind of the authority has been applied relevantlyand rationally and without reliance on facts not furnished to the affectedparty.

INTERNATIONAL TAXATION(Contributed by CA. Hinesh Doshi,
CA. Vishal Gada, CA. Dolly Waghela)
Dynamic India Fund I (DIF-I), a company incorporated in Mauritius is a 100percent subsidiary of Dynamic India Fund II (DIF-II), another company basedin Mauritius. According to the applicant, the applicant company was set upto invest in growing sectors in India. The funds required for investments inIndia are pooled from various individual and institutional investors fromdifferent parts of the world by DIF-II and invested as capital into DIF-I, theapplicant.The said funds are invested in India by the applicant.
The applicant has a Tax Residency Certificate from Mauritius valid upto 14-7-2011. Its validity has since been extended till 14.7.2012. It is registered as aForeign Venture Capital Investor. It has obtained on 17-9-2004, a licensefrom the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI). It does not have apermanent establishment in India.
The applicant has made investments in India in units and shares of Indiancompanies. The shares have been held with the intention of generating longterm capital appreciation. The expenditure is shown as investments in thebooks of accounts. The shares were acquired in the years 2007 and 2008. Theapplicant proposes to sell the shares of some of the companies generatingcapital gains.
Whether capital gain arising to the DIF-I from the sale of the shares held in anIndian company is taxable in India?
The AAR held that the assets proposed to be transferred come underparagraph 4 of Article 13 of the tax treaty between India and Mauritius. Theapplicant being a tax resident of Mauritius in the light of the tax residencycertificate produced by it and relying on the decision in Union of India vs.Azadi Bachao Andolan, it is held that the gain that may arise to the applicantis not chargeable to tax in India.
The AAR held that Since chapter X-A (Applicability of GAAR) introduced intothe Act by the Finance Act 2012 is to come into force only on 1.4.2013, section90 (2A) of the Act (GAAR provisions to override the beneficial provisions oftax treaty) and section 90(4) of the Act (treaty benefit allowable only if theassessee obtains Tax Residency Certificate in prescribed format) has norelevance at this stage. The AAR further observed that as and when suchprovisions come into force, it will be open to the revenue to consider thoseaspects; notwithstanding this ruling.
The capital gains from the proposed sale of shares is not chargeable to tax inIndia in view of paragraph 4 of Article 13 of the India-Mauritius tax treaty andthat the buyer of the shares has no obligation to withhold taxes undersection 195 of the Income-tax Act.
The taxpayer had made payments to a Mauritius company for a marketsurvey conducted by them for preparation of project report withoutwithholding of tax under the Act. The AO held that the taxpayer was obligedto withhold tax under Section 195 of the Act on such payments since thesepayments are FTS which falls under the Explanation 2 to Section 9(1)(vii) ofthe Act.
Relying on the decision of Supreme Court in the case of TransmissionCorporation of AP Ltd. the AO held that the taxpayer had violated Section195 of the Act and therefore, he made a disallowance under Section 40(a)(i)of the Act.
Whether the payment made was liable to withholding tax in India?
The Tribunal observed that there was no dispute that money paid to a non-resident by the taxpayer was for a market survey, qualitative consumermeasurement, retail store site information and compiling data foridentifying opportunities for consumer electronics in the overseas market.Such a ‘market survey’ definitely involved exercise of technical knowledgeand skill by the persons doing the survey.
The Tribunal held that the work done by the Mauritius Company for thetaxpayer was a technical service, therefore, the amount paid to them was tobe treated as Therefore, by virtue of Explanation 2 to Section 9(1)(vii) of theAct, the type of service received by the taxpayer from a foreign company wasFTS.Therefore, the AO was justified in taking this view.
The assessee argued that the payments made were business income underthe India – Mauritius tax treaty and were not liable to tax in India in theabsence of a PE of the non-resident in India.The assessee further argued thatthe tax treaty between India and Mauritius did not provide for taxing anyfees paid for technical services (i.e. does not have an article on Fees forTechnical Services) and therefore, fee for technical services could only beconsidered as business income in the hands of the recipient and hence

The contract between the service provider and the recipient mentioned theservice provider shall bear all taxes and duties in respect of the servicesprovided by him. Under the law, the service recipient was liable to payservice tax under the reverse charge. The service recipient deducted the taxso paid from the service provider’s bills. On appeal by the service providerobjecting to the deduction, the Supreme Court observed:
(i) the service tax requiring the service recipient to pay the tax as anassessee is only relevant between the service recipient and taxauthorities and not relevant to determine the rights and liabilitiescontractually agreed between the service provider and servicerecipient.
(ii) under the contract, the service recipient cannot be faulted fordeducting the service tax from the service provider’s bill since it was hisliability to bear the tax.

The Tribunal held that when technical services are not covered under the taxtreaty, whether fees received for such services could be considered asbusiness income in the hands of recipient has not been analysed by any ofthe lower authorities. The Tribunal observed that admittedly, the tax treatydid not provide for taxing any fees paid for technical services. Only for areason that tax treaty is silent on a particular type of income, it could not besaid that such income will automatically become business income of therecipient
The Tribunal further held that when the tax treaty is silent on a particulararticle, the provisions of the Act have to be considered and applied and thisaspect has not been dealt with by the lower authorities.Therefore, the ordersof lower authorities on payments made for market survey were set aside andremitted back to the AO for consideration afresh in accordance with law.
Promoter Co. held a company ULL indirectly through 5 companies. Therewere two ways for promoter Co. to convert indirect holding in ULL into directholding:
Acquire shares of ULL from the 5 companies –This would entail capital gainstax on transfer of shares to the 5 companies.
Merge the 5 companies. into ULL and get ULL shares in exchange forshareholdings in the 5 companies.The shares held by 5 companies in ULL getcancelled in the merger with consequent reduction of capital of ULL. Thisroute involves no capital gains tax in view of section 47 (vii) of the Act.
The promoter preferred the second route and the merger was objected to asa device to avoid capital gains tax that would have arisen to the 5 companieshad the first route been preferred.
Whether preferring the tax-exempt and legally recognized route results intotax avoidance?
The High Court held that the objection that the scheme was a tax avoidancedevice and ought not to be approved deserves to be rejected as the object ofthe scheme was to avoid any tax. Even today the shares areowned/controlled by the same promoter albeit through transferor-companies.
The High Court observed that under the scheme, only difference is that thePromoter-Co will now hold these shares in the transferee co directly. There isnothing illegal or unlawful or dubious or colourful in the Scheme and thesame is a perfectly legitimate scheme and permissible by law.
The High Court noted that in Azadi Bachao Andolan, the Supreme Court hadconsidered McDowell’s case. The Supreme Court had held that“the decisionin McDowell’s case cannot be read as laying down that every attempt at taxplanning is illegitimate, or that every transaction or arrangement which isperfectly permissible under the law, but has the effect of reducing the taxburden of the assessee must be looked upon with disfavour.” The SupremeCourt had also held that the extreme view taken by Justice Chinappa Reddyin McDowell was not endorsed by the majority in that case, and theprinciples laid down in the case of Duke of Westminster were still ‘alive andkicking.’ The High Court further referred to the Supreme Court ruling inVodafone International Holdings [TS-23-SC-2012], wherein it was held thatthere was no conflict between the decisions of Azadi and McDowell, and thatit could not be said that all tax planning was illegal / illegitimate /impermissible.
SERVICE TAX(Contributed by CA. A. R. Krishnan,
CA. Girish Raman)
For a service to be liable for service tax existence of two distinct parties’ viz.the service provider and service recipient is required. In absence of the same,it cannot be said that there has been any provision of service by one toanother. Thus where the revenue had sought to demand service tax from themember’s club in respect of the mandap keeper’s service provided by theclub to its members the High Court held that the same would not be liable forservice tax based on the doctrine of mutuality. The High Court inter aliarelied on the judgment of Supreme in Joint Commercial Tax Officer v. TheYoung Men’s Indian Association 1970 (1) SCC 462 where the Supreme Courtin the context of Madras General Sales Tax Act, 1959 held that inspite ofspecific inclusion of the club in the definition of dealer and the term “sale”being defined to include any transfer of property by club to its members, inabsence of two there cannot be transaction of transfer of property [RanchiClub Limited v.
