Consultancy fees claimed as business expense-can tax disallowance rest on survey suspicion despite invoices, contracts and bank trail? Appeal dismisse...
Disallowance of stamp duty/fees paid for increase in authorised share capital turned on whether the expenditure was claimed as a deductible revenue outlay. The tribunal found, from the balance sheet note on "other equity" and the tax audit report, that the amount was directly adjusted in retained earnings as share issue expenses and was not routed through the P&L account as revenue expenditure. Since no deduction had been claimed in computing taxable income, there was no basis for any disallowance. The disallowance was deleted and the appeal was allowed. - ITAT
