https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=774617 Bombay HC held that insurance claims received for dead horses cannot be taxed under Section 41(1) as profits after treating horses as capital assets. Revenue impermissibly attempted to shift income from capital gains head to business profits head for taxation purposes. Since horses were capital assets, insurance receipts constitute capital gains under Section 45, not business profits. The court emphasized that income heads are mutually exclusive and cannot be shifted for taxation convenience. Insurance claims for asset destruction were only taxable from April 2000 onwards. AO, CIT(A) and ITAT orders were set aside regarding taxation of insurance claims for deceased horses. en-us Wed, 09 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 08:39:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=774617 Bombay HC held that insurance claims received for dead horses cannot be taxed under Section 41(1) as profits after treating horses as capital assets.
