Query 2]
Sir, our factory construction work was in completed in the Financial year 2008-09 & the commercial production was commenced from February-2009. Certain payment were do without TDS to the contractors for Sheds works, Ducting works etc. The expenses were debited to the concerned capital assets & not to the profit & loss A/c. Depreciation was charged on those assets at the year end & depreciation was debited to the Profit & Loss A/c. Our queries are whether the non deduction of TDS would result in disallowance of proportionate amount of depreciation debited to the profit & loss account? Please elaborate & enlighten. [LPPL]
Opinion:
A very interesting query Indeed. Though, prima-facie it appears that the proportionate amount of depreciation will be disallowable but in fact it will not be so.
Section 40 starts with
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in sections 30 to 38, the following amounts shall not be deduct in computing the income chargeable under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession”:-
(ia) any interest, commission or brokerage, rent, royalty, fees for professional services or fees for technical services payable to a resident, or amounts payable to a contractor or sub-contractor, being resident, for carrying out any work (including supply of labour for carryout any work), on which tax is deductible at source under chapter XVII – B and such tax has not been deduct or, after deduction, has not been pay before the specify date mention in the said sub-section.
A non-obstante clause is usually use in a provision to indicate that the provision should prevail despite anything to the contrary in the provision mention in such non obstante clause.
Further a perusal of the above provision show that it is only when a deduction is claim in computing the income chargeable under the head “ Profits and gains of business or profession” that the above provision is attract.
The deduction claimed should be of interest, commission or brokerage, rent, royalty, fees for professional services or fees for technical services, Contractors / Subcontractors Payment. The claim for depreciation made by the assessee does not fall within any of the categories mentioned in the aforesaid provision. Therefore, we are of the strong opinion that it is not possible to make disallowance of depreciation by resorting to the provisions of section 40(ia) of the Act. One may further refer ITA No. 1497/Mum/2010 Dt. March 9, 2011.
Furthermore, in SMC demaag (P) Ltd. vs. DCIT [132 TTJ 498], the Delhi Tribunal has held that depreciation cannot be disallowed on the ground that at the time of remittance no tax was deducted at source. Provisions of section 40(a)(i) are not applicable for claim of deduction under section 32.
