CASE LAWS

2007-TIOL-668-HC-MAD-IT.doc

Carry forward unabsorbed losses - Section 115J allows only the unabsorbed losses, depreciation, investment allowance, etc., which could otherwise have been carried forward, to be carried forward. The allowances need not have been quantified under sub-section (1) of Section 115J to be carried forward under sub-section. Tribunal was not right in holding that depreciation and other allowances to be carried forward in a case where book profits had been subject to tax is to be separately determined taking into account the profit assessed under Section 115J of the Act.

Excise duty cannot form part of turnover - Section 80HHC of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is a beneficial section. It was intended to provide incentive profits relatable to exports. Just as commission received by the assessee is relatable to exports and yet it cannot form part of "turnover" for the purposes of Section 80HHC, excise duty and sales tax also cannot form part of "turnover". Just as interest, commission, etc., do not emanate from the "turnover" so also excise duty and sales tax do not emanate from such "turnover". Since excise duty and sales tax did not involve any such turnover, such taxes had to be excluded. Commission, interest, rent, etc., do yield profits, but they do not partake of the character of turnover and therefore they are not includible in the "total turnover". If so, excise duty and sales tax also cannot form part of the "total turnover" under Section 80HHC(3).: MADRAS HIGH COURT;
