Business deductions and transfer pricing issues: tribunal treatment of software write-offs, donation receipts, warranty provisions, and related expens...
A charitable trust assessed as an Association of Persons was held taxable at normal slab rates, not at the maximum marginal rate, because its activities were for the benefit of the public at large and the trustees had no share in the income. The Tribunal treated the issue as covered by co-ordinate Bench decisions on identical facts, including the assessee's own earlier case, and accepted that such a trust cannot be characterised as an AOP with determinate or indeterminate member-shares for the higher rate to apply. The challenge to levy of tax at the maximum marginal rate was allowed.
