FAQ :
Section 36(1)(xvii) allows a deduction for expenditure incurred by a co-operative society engaged in sugar manufacturing, specifically for the purchase of sugarcane at a price equal to or less than the government-fixed price.
This clause became effective from 1st April 2016, applying to the assessment year 2016-17 and subsequent assessment years.
The circular clarifies that this phrase includes prices set by State Governments through their own Acts or Orders, such as the State Advised Price, which may be higher than the Statutory Minimum Price or Fair and Remunerative Price set by the Central Government.
This clarification specifically applies to co-operative societies engaged in the business of manufacturing sugar.
The clarification was issued due to questions raised about the tax treatment of additional payments for sugarcane prices by co-operative sugar mills, and whether these should be considered income distribution to farmer members.
