Section 28 is the charging section for the income under the head ‘profits and gains of business or profession’. This clause intends to capture and report those incomes which ordinarily wouldn’t be a business income but is deemed to be business income by virtue of the Income Tax Act. Even export benefits like pro forma credits, duty drawbacks, refund of customs, etc. would be covered under this clause if not credited to the profit and loss account. Further, a capital receipt would not normally attract tax unless the transaction is specifically covered in the provisions. Thus if such receipt is not appearing in the profit and loss account it will be covered here.

Clause 17: Where any land or building or both is transferred during the previous year for a consideration less than value adopted or assesseed or assessable by any authority of a State Government referred to in section 43CA or 50 please furnish:

Sec 50C: Section 50C is applicable only to land or building or both. Section 50C uses value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority (SVA) for the purpose of levying stamp duty on registration of properties, as guidance value to determine undervaluation of land or building if any in the sale agreement. In case sale consideration received or claimed to be received by seller on sale of land or building or both is less than value adopted by stamp valuation authority, such value adopted by SVA would become actual sale consideration received or accruing to the seller. Therefore, capital gain would be Valuation as per stamp valuation authority reduced by cost/indexed cost of acquisition.

However, budget 2018 has brought about an amendment in section 50C whereby no adjustments shall be made in a case where the variation between stamp duty value and the sale consideration is not more than five percent of the sale consideration. This has been introduced in order to minimize hardship in case of genuine transactions in the real estate sector.

Sec 43CA:

Where the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer by an assessee of an asset (other than a capital asset), being land or building or both, is less than the value adopted or assesseed or assessable by any authority of a State Government for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect of such transfer, the value so adopted or assesseed or assessable shall, for the purposes of computing profits and gains from transfer of such asset, be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer.

It is to provide for taxability of any sum received as an advance or otherwise in the course of negotiations for transfer of capital asset. Since it is a capital receipt it was earlier allowed as a deduction from the cost of acquisition. The same is now taxed as a revenue receipt in the year of receipt under the head IOS. Making it taxable in the year of receipt is a good move and in the interest of the revenue. However, the other side of the same transaction also needs consideration i.e. from the payer’s point of view whose money has been forfeited. Since the receipt is deemed to be revenue due to the enactment, it follows that the expenses in the hands of the payer would also be revenue in nature. Consequently, corresponding benefit needs to be provided to the payer.

(v) If no, the amount of imputed interest income on such excess money which has not been repatriated within the prescribed time:

The transfer pricing provisions under the Income Tax Act in general aim to value transactions with associated enterprises at an arm’s length price. This clause aims to capture such relevant information within the tax audit report.

A primary adjustment is the difference between the transfer price determined based on the arm’s-length principle and the transfer price at which the transaction took place. This difference also represents the ‘excess money’ with the AE that is required to be repatriated to India.

A “secondary adjustment” has been defined to mean an adjustment in the books of accounts of the taxpayer and its AE to reflect that the actual allocation of profits between the taxpayer and its AE are consistent with the transfer price determined as a result of the primary adjustment.
