of <h1>Revenue appeal against reassessment under s.148A(d) dismissed as assessee will challenge final assessment on merits</h1> <h3>Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax Circle 3 (1) (1), International Tax, New Delhi Versus Trans World International Ltd. LLC (TWI).</h3> SC refused to entertain the Revenue's appeal challenging the HC's setting aside of reassessment under s.148A(d) and the s.148 notice because the assessee ... Validity of reopening of assessment u/s 147 - taxability of 'live feed' and its asserted tax ability as royalty - bifurcation of licence fee between live feed and recorded content - High Court [2024 (10) TMI 427 - DELHI HIGH COURT] set aside the re-assessment order passed u/s 148A(d) and the notice referable to Section 148 - HELD THAT:- Learned counsel for the assessee (respondent) has instructions to make a statement before this Court that his client now intends to prefer an appeal against the final order of assessment in accordance with law. He would further submit that the challenge to the assessment order would be on its own merits and not on the grounds as urged before the High Court while questioning the order passed under Section 148A(d) of the Act, in so far as the issue of reopening is concerned. If that be so, then there is no good reason for us to look into this appeal filed by the Revenue. Delay condoned; leave granted. Appeal by the Revenue challenges the High Court order dated 14-8-2024 that quashed the re-assessment order passed under Section 148A(d) and the notices referable to Section 148. The High Court had permitted assessment proceedings to continue but directed that any final order 'shall not be given effect to and would be subject to the further orders that the High Court may pass.' Relying on precedent in 'Fox Network,' the High Court held there was 'no justification to recognize a right inhering in the respondents to continue the impugned reassessment action' and found the AO's bifurcation of revenue as 95%-5% 'clearly rendered perverse in light of the stipulations contained in the agreement.' The assessee subsequently obtained a final assessment order and has stated intention to prefer an appeal against that final order on merits, not on the reopening issue. Given that position, the Court found no reason to entertain the Revenue's appeal and disposed of the appeal; pending applications also disposed.
