Alloy Steel Emporium Pvt. Ltd., Kolkata vs Assessee on 27 April, 2016
"If the contention of the Department that the moment there is -
remittance the obligation to deduct TAS arises is to be accepted
then we are obliterating the words "chargeable under the
provisions of the Act" in section 195(1). The said expression in
section 195(1) shows that the remittance has got to be of a
trading receipt, the whole or part of which is liable to tax in India.
The payer is bound to deduct TAS only if the tax is assessable in
India. If tax is not so assessable, there is no question of TAS
being deducted. (See : Vijay Ship Breaking Corporation v. CIT
[2009] 314 ITR 309)."
