Exemption for HUF distributions may not apply where clubbing rules apply, affecting taxability of co parcener receipts.
Amounts received by an individual co parcener from the HUF are exempt in the hands of the assessee under the general exemption for such receipts, subject to the overriding provision dealing with clubbing or attribution of income which can limit that exemption.

Accounting policy change requires reasonable cause and substance-over-form treatment to reflect a true and fair view.
Accounting policies must present a true and fair view of the state of affairs and income; treatment and presentation must follow substance over legal form; an accounting policy shall not be changed without reasonable cause, and any change must serve faithful representation for income computation and disclosure.

Accrual versus accounting method: accrual-based charge under residency provisions overrides cash-basis bookkeeping for taxing income.
Where income has become taxable under the substantive provision governing non-resident receipts, that charging provision prevails over a taxpayer's cash-basis accounting; Section 145 is a machinery provision to effectuate the charge and cannot be used to defeat or nullify the substantive charge so as to allow taxable income to escape tax.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Accrual of income: recognition occurs when a vested right and debtor liability arise, not necessarily on actual receipt.
ICDS I explains that accrual of income arises when a vested right to receive payment emerges and a corresponding liability is created on the other party; postponement or non-receipt does not prevent accrual, though non-receipt may justify separate deductions or claims. Accrual and arisal denote an inchoate right prior to actual receipt, while receipt denotes physical collection, and for tax accounting the existence of the right and the debtor's liability are the operative tests for accrual-based recognition.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Deduction for bad debts allowed where income recognised under ICDS but not recorded in accounts is later irrecoverable.
Where a debt included in income on the basis of Income Computation and Disclosure Standards but not recorded in the accounts becomes irrecoverable, Finance Act, 2016 permits the debt (or part) to be allowed as a deduction in the year it becomes irrecoverable and deems that the debt has been written off in the accounts for the purposes of the deduction.

Show AI Summary
Applicability of ICDS: timing of TDS entries determines whether expenditure is disallowable under TDS disallowance provisions.
ICDS apply only to computation of income under Profit & gains from business or profession and Income from Other Sources. For Sections 40(a)(i) and 40(a)(ia), disallowance depends on whether tax was deductible and whether an entry creating that liability or deduction existed in the year expenditure was claimed; absence of such an entry negates disallowance, while prior-year deduction of tax prevents disallowance in the year of allowance.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
ICDS exclusion from TDS timing: TDS deduction timing and taxable expenditure follow book credit or payment date.
ICDS does not affect TDS mechanics: the time for TDS (date of credit in books or date of payment) and the expenditure amount subject to deduction are determined by the books of account or payment date, not by ICDS computation of allowable expenditure.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
ICDS compliance: prepare ICDS-based financials and reconciliations to ensure taxable income computation aligns with disclosure standards.
Differences between accounting under ICDS and other accounting frameworks can materially affect taxable income and subsequent years' computations; taxpayers should quantify divergences and account for consequential tax adjustments. Practically, maintain parallel ICDS-based profit and loss and balance sheet statements and prepare a detailed reconciliation with primary accounting records to ensure all ICDS adjustments are considered. Auditors must certify that computation of total income complies with ICDS, making transparent documentation of adjustments and reconciliations necessary for audit certification and tax compliance.
Notifications GST

Reverse charge on legal services broadened to include advisory and representational work under GST notifications.
Corrigenda amend reverse-charge entries to treat "services provided by an individual advocate including a senior advocate or firm of advocates by way of legal services, directly or indirectly," as taxable, and add an Explanation that "legal service" includes advice, consultancy, assistance in any branch of law and representational services, thereby broadening the scope beyond representational services before courts, tribunals or authorities.
Case Laws VAT / Sales Tax
Show AI Summary
Reversal of input tax credit: sale of exempt by products triggers reversal under VAT/GST credit rules.
Reversal of input tax credit is triggered by the sale of goods produced incidentally during manufacture, not by their status as by products. The statutory credit regime aims to prevent double taxation by granting input credit for inputs used in manufacture, but the legislature determines the extent and conditions of credit. A provision that uses the terms 'goods' and 'sale' does not distinguish by products from final products, so where the incidental output is marketable and sold for consideration, reversal rules apply.
Case Laws Income Tax

Capital gain valuation under section 50C on transfer of contractual rights challenged as inappropriate and commercially onerous.
Application of section 50C to a transfer of rights under a power of attorney, where no possession or control of the immovable property passed and no stamp authority value was adopted, was contested; the assessing officer's adoption of an enhanced valuation for computing short term capital gains was regarded as inappropriate and characterised as harassment, and that addition was reversed on appeal.

Accounting policy change disclosure required when future material effect is expected; disclose at adoption and when it first becomes material.
Change in accounting policies that has no material effect in the current previous year but is reasonably expected to have material effect later must be disclosed: (a) in the previous year in which the change is adopted; and (b) in the previous year in which the change has material effect for the first time.

Change in accounting policy: permitted only for reasonable cause and where AS 5 requires it or improves financial presentation.
A change in accounting policy will be treated as reasonable if it meets the criterion established by AS 5: the change is permissible only where it is required by statute, necessary for compliance with an accounting standard, or results in a more appropriate presentation of the enterprise's financial statements.

Mark-to-market loss recognition barred under ICDS, allowed only if another ICDS or tax law permits.
Mark-to-market and expected losses are not recognised under ICDS I unless another ICDS permits such recognition; the Accounting Standards Committee held that because anticipated profits are not recognised, parity requires that expected or mark-to-market losses also be excluded, while established tax-law precedent allows deduction for exchange fluctuation losses arising on revenue-purpose borrowings.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Disclosure of fundamental accounting assumptions required when Going Concern, Consistency or Accrual are not followed in tax reporting.
ICDS I requires that where the Going Concern, Consistency and Accrual assumptions are followed no specific disclosure is required, but any departure from these fundamental accounting assumptions must be disclosed; the revised tax audit reporting format provides columns to record such disclosures.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Going concern assumption affects income computation and disclosure, requiring a different measurement basis if materially impinged.
Going concern is the assumption that an assessee will continue operations and has no intent or necessity to liquidate or materially curtail business; it underpins periodic income computation and financial statements and applies in the absence of contrary information. Material uncertainties that cast doubt on going concern may impinge this assumption. ICDS I does not specify computation methods when going concern is not met; absent such mandate an assessee may follow the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements and prepare statements on a different basis, affecting recognition, measurement and disclosure.

ICDS disclosure requirements must be reported in tax audit reports and reflected in amended income tax return schedules.
ICDS require disclosure of accounting policies and ICDS adjustments; the net effect must be disclosed in the Return of Income. Disclosures required under ICDS shall be made in the tax audit report in Form 3CD for taxpayers subject to tax audit, and no separate disclosure regime exists for those not liable to tax audit; return forms were amended to include a schedule ICDS.

ICDS supremacy - where ICDS conflicts with CBDT circulars or press releases, the ICDS treatment prevails.
Where ICDS provisions conflict with earlier CBDT circulars or press releases, the later ICDS provisions prevail for the period after they take effect; CBDT circulars and press releases are interpretative guidance binding on tax officers but not on taxpayers.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
DTAA supremacy: ICDS governs income computation when the treaty is silent, non-conflicting, or specifies only tax rate.
ICDS apply to non-residents claiming DTAA benefits only where the DTAA is silent, where there is no conflict between ICDS computation and treaty treatment, where the income falls outside the DTAA's scope, or where the DTAA fixes a tax rate but does not prescribe the method of computing the income, in which case ICDS governs computation.
Manuals Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Recognition of provisions under ICDS X requires a present obligation, probable outflow of resources, and a reliable estimate.
Recognition of a provision under ICDS X requires a present obligation from a past event, a reasonably certain outflow of resources to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount; routine future operating costs must not be recognised as provisions.
