08 December 2009 There was a controversy about the taxability of the non-compete fee. The controversy was put to an end by the amendment to Section 28 of the Income-Tax Act made by Finance Act, 2002 w.e.f. April 1, 2003.

Under Section 28 (va), such non-compete fee is taxable as profits and gains of business or profession.

08 December 2009 It is profits and gains of business or profession. TDS is applicable under Section 194 J for making this kind of payment by the company.
