<h1>High Court: Auditorium, AC services income classified as business income. Permissible deductions hinge on this. Commissioner to pay costs to assessee.</h1> The High Court classified income from the auditorium and air-conditioning services as business income, not income from other sources. The permissibility ... Income From Business Issues involved: The judgment addresses the classification of income derived from an auditorium and air-conditioning services as either business income or income from other sources, along with the permissibility of certain deductions incurred by the assessee.Income from Auditorium: The assessee-company owned a building with an auditorium and air-conditioning services. The Income Tax Officer (ITO) initially accepted the income from these sources as 'Other sources.' However, in subsequent assessment years, the assessee claimed it as business income. The Tribunal held that the income derived from providing these services was from a business activity, not merely property exploitation. The High Court referred to relevant provisions of the Income-tax Act, emphasizing that income must be shown to not fall under any other head to be classified as 'Income from other sources.'Income from Air-Conditioning Services: The Tribunal considered the provision of air-conditioning services as a business activity by the assessee, involving specialized services and facilities. The Tribunal concluded that the income from these services was from a business activity, not from the ownership of the property. The High Court cited previous decisions to support the view that income derived from such services should be classified as business income.Permissible Deductions: The expenditure incurred by the assessee in the relevant assessment years was claimed as permissible deductions. The High Court determined that the answers to the first two questions regarding the classification of income as business income or income from other sources would impact the permissibility of these deductions. Based on the classification of income as business income, the High Court ruled in favor of the assessee regarding the permissibility of the deductions.Conclusion: The High Court answered the questions regarding the classification of income from the auditorium and air-conditioning services as business income, not income from other sources. The permissibility of deductions was dependent on these classifications, and the High Court ruled in favor of the assessee. The Commissioner was directed to pay the costs of the reference to the assessee.
