Tax queries 1228 views 10 replies

Please provide your expert opnion:

X Co. has given a contract for construction of factory to  A Co. (contractor).
X Co. purchased some TMT bars (construction materials) of Rs. 80,000/- in cash from a single party on a single day on behalf of A Co. and debited the account of A Co. in its books of accounts and credited cash. The bills and other documents are in the name of A Co.

I seek your opinion that whether the provisions of Sec. 40 A (3) of I.T. Act are attracted, if yes who of the two parties would be disallowed...??

yes provisions of sec. 40A (3) will attract because you can not pay more than 20000/- in a single day.

In my openion the provisions will apply to the company making payment i.e. X co.

Sir,

Please clarify with supporting text from the Section..

for X co.. expenditure will bw disallowed.. because he has made payment to the party on behalf of  A co.. In A co expenditure is allowed

 

It is a capital expenditure,so no question of allowing and disallowing of expenses under 40 A (3) of I.T. Act

Under section 40A(3)Expenses are disallowed if payment is made violating the rules, like payment in cash. Purchase of TMT bar is not a revenue expense to claim. Because it is a capital expenditure which is capitalized to asset there is no relevance of section 40A(3).

Super like for sunil.
