The Court emphasized that legislative changes in 2003 made such payments taxable as capital receipts, unless there was a loss of the source of business. The Court rejected the Revenue's argument that the circumstances indicated a goodwill transfer, highlighting the clear agreement specifying the payment as a non-compete fee. The Tax Case Appeal was dismissed in favor of the assessee based on established legal principles and legislative provisions. en-us Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 12:30:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=214473 The High Court of Madras ruled in a Tax Case Appeal that a non-compete fee received by a company was a capital receipt and not payment towards goodwill transfer.
