Scientific warranty provisions for automotive products may be deductible where liability arises on each sale and the provision is consistently estimated from historical experience, applying accrual and matching principles. Grossed-up withholding tax borne under an intellectual-property royalty agreement may form part of royalty consideration where the payer contractually assumes the foreign recipient's tax liability. For approved in-house research and development facilities, weighted deduction may cover eligible scientific-research expenditure actually incurred and cannot be restricted solely to the amount certified by DSIR. A challenge to the prescribed format of a notice under section 143(2) was rejected. The reported appeals were partly allowed, with the three expenditure disallowances deleted.
