The court held that tax should be levied at the normal rate, not the maximum marginal rate, for beneficiary trusts treated as discretionary trusts. Citing legal precedents, including decisions by the Supreme Court and High Court, the Tribunal set aside the assessments and directed the Assessing Officer to compute tax at appropriate rates under section 164 of the Act. The judgment also confirmed the nature of the assessee-trust as a specific trust and emphasized adherence to tax laws to prevent avoidance, leading to the rejection of Revenue's applications for reference to the High Court. en-us Fri, 11 Sep 1998 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 11:22:17 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=16758 The High Court of Gujarat ruled in favor of the assessee-trust in a case concerning the interpretation of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
