of <h1>Court affirms deduction under Section 80-IA for manufacturing activity.</h1> <h3>Commissioner Of Income Tax Versus Northern Aromatics Ltd.</h3> The High Court upheld the Tribunal's decision that the assessed is entitled to the benefit of deduction under Section 80-IA for processing charges ... - Issues Involved: Whether the assessed is entitled to the benefit of Section 80-IA for receiving processing charges and whether the assessing authority's denial of the benefit is justified.Summary:Issue 1: Entitlement to Section 80-IA BenefitThe Tribunal found that the assessed received processing charges for products manufactured on a job work basis for outsiders. The Revenue contended that such charges were outside the purview of Section 80-IA as the manufacturing activity was not for the assessed itself. However, the Tribunal held that the assessed's activity constituted manufacturing activity regardless of whether it was for its own business or for others on a job work basis. Section 80-IA does not differentiate between manufacturing for oneself or others. The Tribunal noted that in a previous assessment year, the assessing authority had allowed the deduction under Section 80-IA. Citing precedents, the Tribunal concluded that the assessed should not be denied the benefit of deduction under Section 80-IA for the incomes represented by processing charges.Issue 2: Lack of Evidence Before the AOThe High Court also reviewed the order passed by the Assessing Officer (AO) and found no discussion or evidence to support the claim that the assessed unit was not engaged in manufacturing activity. The High Court noted that this was a finding of fact, and under Section 260A of the Act, they were not required to interfere with such factual determinations.In conclusion, the High Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the Tribunal's decision that the assessed was entitled to the benefit of deduction under Section 80-IA for the processing charges received, and that there was no basis to interfere with the finding that the assessed unit was engaged in manufacturing activity.
