12 June 2012 Penalty for non payment of sales tax is not a business expenditure.
Citation :- CIT Vs. Bharat Steel Tubes Ltd (1996) 86 Taxman 358 (Del)
But supreme court in Malwa Vanaspati's case said if the payment is embedded with a compensatory characteristic,then it is a business expenditure.
To have a better understanding the concerned act and the reason of payment has to be analysed.
