What did the High Court hold?

The Tribunal was correct in its approach to splitting the composite contract into its constituent parts. Consequently, tax deduction was only required for the work component, not the material component.

What were the facts?

The appeal concerns the tax treatment of a composite contract. The revenue argued that the contract should be split into material and work components for tax deduction purposes. The Tribunal, however, had previously ruled on similar matters.

What were the issues?

Whether a composite contract should be split for tax deduction purposes and if interest under Section 201(1A) is leviable when tax is not deductible on the material portion.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 201(1A)
