Whether the income of the assessee club would be taxable at maximum marginal rate u/s.167B of the Act or at slab rates applicable to AOP?


Quick Summary
This case concerns whether an assessee club's income should be taxed at the maximum marginal rate under Section 167B of the Income Tax Act or at the slab rates applicable to an Association of Persons (AOP). The assessee argued that historically, they were taxed at slab rates, and the shift to electronic filing caused the software to automatically apply the maximum marginal rate. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal agreed to restore the issue to the Assessing Officer for a fresh decision.
