Hi YPians!!
A brilliant suggestion from YP Priyanka Sureka led to this initiative by CYP creative team.

Q)Can anyone advise me when do we add surcharge (10%) while deducting TDS?

Unknown said...

Brilliant
Simply Brilliant
Thats the word which comes to me
Thats the power of a group forum. And what can be a better way to solve queries than ask our fellow YPians who come from a diverse background - representing Audit firms, Big Corportates, Law firms.

KUDOS to YP Priyanka

Keep up the good work

Surcharge is applicable if
IN CASE OF Companies, firms: Payment exceeds 1 crores.
IN CASE OF Individual HUF: payment exceeds 10 lacs

NOte Payment to Companies/individual has to be seen and not paymeny by companies and individual

Hi YPs
Really Ashok needs a big round of applause for such a nice job............
& Harsha i do not get your point, can you redraft your question?

Q)If a co is selling one of its asset, and there is a profit or loss on the sale of asset as per the companies act.As per the I.T. act the block still exist and there is no STCL. Will this transaction lead to Deferred tax aseet or liability ?

Priyanka said...

Hi YPians
I do have one more query,
Do any one of you know about a website having facility of revealing the name and other details of the assessee, if we provide his PAN no?

Ashok said...

If a co is selling one of its asset, and there is a profit or loss.....lead to Deferred tax aseet or liability ?Yes.It will. If you incur loss, you will have a DTA which will reverse with time due to dep claim in tax but not in accounts, and if its a profit its vice versa.

HI

Query

Can the commitment charges and upfront fees paid to Banks/ FI's for disbursal of loan be amortised over the period of loan

Common sense says no. Only Share issue expense and VRS expense can be deferred.

However AS 16 Para 4 Clause C defines Borrowing cost to include the amortisation of ancilliary cost related to borrowing. Thing is it talks about borrowing costs. But the use of terminology "Amortisatoin" in the section allows us to give an interpretaion so as to defer it

Think over it

Ashok said...

amortisation of ancilliary cost related to borrowing..This standard only recommends amortisation of loans for assets which are qualifying.. so i don think this can be generalised for other situations as well..Rahul..please correct me if I am wrong..

Rahul said...

Ashoks reply
"amortisation of ancilliary cost related to borrowing..This standard only recommends amortisation of loans for assets which are qualifying.. "

AShok i got my solution. Thanx neways

Firstly what do u mean by amortisation of loan.
Secondly it talks about Borrowing costs. It can be either for qualifying asset ( then to be capitalised) or not for qualyfying (then expensed out).

My query was regarding defering or amortising the costs incidental to borrowing over the loan period.

The solution lies in AS 26 itself. The AS excludes certain items. Clause D of exclusion talks about my case. It categorically excludes ancilliary borrowing costs from AS 26 and therefore opens up a flood gate for corporates to take benifit of. I hope u got the crux now
Thanx neways.

Rahul said...

Another query

What is the treatment of Forward Contracts under IFRS regime.

Pls give the measurement principle of Derivative Asset. How is the fair value of the aset computed.

Pls dont answer in light of AS 11.

rahul goyal said...

Hi

Query

Please suggest wheter non compete fees paid at the time of acquiring promoter's shares of a listed company may be added to the cost of investment.

If not what should be its treatment

Suggest in reference to AS 26 & AS 13.

Rahul said...

I am giving a guesswork

Saket I think we can think from tax point of view to find the answer.

If u remember v treat such as revenue nature receipts and expenditures.

So it should be revenue nature expense.

saket agarwal said...

from my balance sheet point of view i want to capitalize it with my investments.

am i allowed to do so.

I suppose no from point of view of both AS 26 & AS 13

Please suggest
