Issues: Whether commission and trade discounts on sales formed part of "sales promotion" expenditure for disallowance under section 37(3A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
Analysis: "Sales promotion" refers to measures intended to promote the sale of products generally, such as advertisements or special campaigns. A sale effected in the ordinary course of business on commercial terms, including sales made at trade discount or with commission allowed to dealers, is not the same as expenditure on sales promotion. The allowance of a discount on the sale price only reduces the price at which the product is sold and does not constitute expenditure incurred for promoting sales.
Conclusion: Commission and discounts on sales were not includible in the disallowance under section 37(3A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The question was answered in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
