Answer :
Computation of taxable salary of Mr.X for A.Y. 2011-12
Particulars `
Basic pay [(20,000×9) + (21,000×3)] = 1,80,000 +63,000
Dearness allowance [10% of basic pay]
Bonus [Note 2]
Employer’s contribution to RPF in excess of 12% (15%-12% =3% of
` 2,67,300) [Note 1]
Taxable allowances
Telephone allowanceTaxable perquisites
Rent-free accommodation [Note 1 & 4]

6,000
44,145
10,000
12,000
10,000
3,78,464
Notes:
1. It has been assumed that DA forms part of salary for retirement benefits and accordingly,
the perquisite value of rent-free accommodation and employer’s contribution to RPF have
been worked out.
2. Bonus has been determined as one month’s basic pay as at the end of the year i.e. ` 21,000.
In the alternative, the problem can also be worked out by taking bonus as ` 20,000, beingone month’s basic pay upto 31.12.2010.
3. Facility of laptop is not a taxable perquisite.
4. When the accommodation is taken on lease or rent by the employer, the value of rent-free
accommodation provided to employee would be actual amount of lease rental paid or
payable by the employer or 15% of salary, whichever is lower.
Valuation of rent free house, for the purpose of salary includes:
(i) Basic salary i.e., ` 2,43,000
(ii) Dearness allowance (assuming that it is included for calculating retirement benefits)
i.e. ` 24,300
(iii) Bonus i.e., ` 21,000
(iv) Telephone allowance i.e., ` 6,000
Thus salary is :
2,43,000 + 24,300 + 21,000 +6,000 = 2,94,300.
8/3/2019 Scanner Ipcc Paper 4
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scanner-ipcc-paper-4 5/34
Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 4 I-4
15% of salary = 2,94,300 × 15/100 = 44,145
Value of rent-free house = Lower of rent paid by the employer (i.e. ` 1,20,000) or 15% of
salary (i.e., ` 44,145).
The perquisite value is ` 44,145.
5. According to section 17(2) Clause (v) exempts any sum paid by the employer in respect of
any expenditure actually incurred by the employee on his medical treatment or treatment
of any member of his family to the extent of ` 15,000.
Therefore, in this case, the balance of ̀ 10,000 (i.e., ` 25,000 – ̀ 15,000) is a taxable
perquisite. Medical insurance premium paid by employer is exempt.
6. Premium of ̀ 5,000 paid by the employer for personal accident policy is not liable to tax.
7. Conveyance allowance is exempt because it is based on actual reimbursement for official
purposes.2010 - Nov [7] (a) Answer the question.
(i) Mr. Shah, an Accounts Manager, has retired from JK Ltd. on 15.1.2011 after rendering
services for 30 years 7 months. His salary is ` 25,000/- p.m. upto 30.9.2010 and
` 27,000/- thereafter. He also gets ` 2,000/- p.m. as dearness allowance (55% of it is a
part of salary for computing retirement benefits). He is not covered by the Payments of
Gratuity Act, 1972. He has received ` 8 Lacs as gratuity from the employer company.
(4 marks)
Answer :
Calculation of Gratuity taxable in the hand, of Mr. Shah :
As Mr. Shah is not covered by the payments of Gratuity Act, 1972. The least of the following
is exempt:
(a) ` 3,50,000(b) Gratuity Actually received
(c) × Last 10 months Average Salary × Completed years of service rendered by employee
Where :
Last 10 months Avg. Salary = = ` 26,700/-
Completed years of service = 30 year 7 months i.e. = 30 years
Hence exemption :
(a) ` 3,50,000
(b) ` 8,00,000 (Actual gratuity received)
(c) × 26,700 × 30 = 4,00,500
Hence exemption in respect of gratuity = ` 3,50,000 (Being least of above)

(iii) Explain briefly the applicability of Section 22 for chargeability of income tax for :
(i) House property situated in foreign country and
(ii) House property with disputed ownership. (4 marks)
Answer :
Applicability of section 22 for chargeability of income-tax for –
(i) House property situated in foreign country : A resident assessee is taxable under
section 22 in respect of annual value of a house property situated in foreign country. A
resident but not ordinarily resident or a non resident is taxable in respect of income from
such property if the income is received in India during the previous year. Once incidence
of tax is attracted under section 22, the annual value will be computed as if the property
is situated in India.
(ii) House property with disputed ownership : U/s 27 of Income Tax Act, 1961 in case of Holder of importable estate the holder of importable estate is deemed to be owner of all
properties comprised in the estate, therefore in the present case the holder of the disputed
house property will be deemed as owner of that property & annual value of the above
property will be chargeable in his hands u/s 22.

2. One forth portion of house is used for business purposes, so, ¼th share of interest paid is
deductible while computing business income.
3. Term deposit of ̀ 1,50,000 in the name of minor daughter does not qualify for deduction
under section 80C. However, principal repayment of housing loan (i.e 3/4th) would qualify
for deduction under section 80C. Therefore, the deduction under section 80C would be
` 36,000 (i.e. 3/4th of ` 48,000).
4. Agricultural income is exempt under section 10(1) and share of income from HUF is
exempt under section 10(2).

Hence, VAT paid thereon is a part of cost of production.
2. Duty paid on high seas purchases i.e., imports is not a State VAT, so the input tax credit isnot available in respect of the same and it is a part of cost of production.
3. Set-off of tax paid on inter-state purchases is not allowed.
4. It has been assumed that the entire production is sold.

2010 - Nov [3] (c) State the Variants of VAT. Present them in schematic diagram and explain
each one briefly. (4 marks)
Answer :
There are 3 variants of VAT - (i) Gross product variant, (ii) Income variant, and (iii)
Consumption variant.
8/3/2019 Scanner Ipcc Paper 4
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scanner-ipcc-paper-4 21/34
Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 4 I-20
(a) Gross product variant : The gross product variant of VAT allows deductions for taxes on
all purchases of raw materials and components, but no deduction is allowed for taxes on
capital inputs. That is, taxes on capital goods such as plant and machinery are not
deductible from the tax base in the year of purchase and tax on the depreciated part of the
plant and machinery is not deductible in the subsequent years.
(b) Income variant : The income variant of VAT on the other hand allows for deductions on
purchases of raw materials and components as well as depreciation on capital goods. This
method provides incentives to classify purchases as current expenditure to claim set-off.
However, in practice there are many difficulties connected with the specification of any
method of measuring depreciation, which basically depends on the life of an asset as well
as on the rate of inflation.
(c) Consumption variant : Consumption variant of VAT allows for deduction on all business
purchases including capital assets. Therefore, gross investment is deductible in calculating
value added. It neither distinguishes between capital and current expenditures nor specifies
the life of assets or depreciation allowances for different assets.
2010 - Nov [4] (c) State with reasons in brief whether the following statements are correct or
incorrect with reference to the provision of Value Added Tax.
8/3/2019 Scanner Ipcc Paper 4
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scanner-ipcc-paper-4 22/34
Appendix IPCC Gr. I Paper - 4 I-21
(i) It is permitted to issue ‘tax invoice’ inclusive of VAT i.e. aggregate of sales price &
VAT.
(ii) A registered dealer is compulsorily required to get its books of accounts audited under
VAT Laws of different states irrespective of limit of turnover. (2 × 2 = 4 marks)
Answer :
(i) The statement is incorrect, Because as per the VAT-laws of the respective states, a
VAT-invoice should contain the rate and amount of tax charged in respect of taxable
goods separately in the invoice hence it is not open to the dealer to issue 'tax invoice'
inclusive of VAT i.e. aggregate of sales price & VAT.
However in case of small dealers or in case the sale is to an end consumer (i.e. in cases
where VAT invoices are not required to be issued), the invoice may not contain details
of tax (i.e. rate and amount of tax).(ii) The Statement is incorrect. Because Most of the State VAT laws in India provide for
audit of accounts of a registered dealer, if his turnover exceeds an amount specified in
the law itself. Hence every registered dealer is not compulsorily required to get its books
of accounts audited under VAT Laws of different states irrespective of limit of turnover.
2010 - Nov [5] (c) What are the conditions to be fulfilled by the dealer accepting the composition
scheme under the Value Added Tax ? (4 marks)
Answer :
Every registered dealer who is liable to pay tax under the concerned State-VAT law and whose
turnover didn't exceed ` 50 lakhs in the last financial year is eligible to opt for the composition
scheme.
However, the dealer opting for composition scheme has to fulfill the following condition:-
(a) He cannot make sells of goods in the course of inter-state trade or commerce (i.e. "dealerseffecting interstate sales only"); and
(b) He cannot make sells of goods in the course of import into or export out of the territory of
India (i.e. "importers" and "exporters"); and
(c) He cannot transfer the goods outside the State otherwise than by way of sale or for
execution of works contract (i.e. "branch transfers viz. Consignor, etc." or "works
contractors")
(d) He cannot make inter-State purchases; and
(e) He cannot issue vatable invoices.
2010 - Nov [6] (c) Mention the purchases which are not eligible for input tax credit (any eight
items) under Value Added Tax. (4 marks)

Answer :
(i) The statement is incorrect. Scope of taxable service shall include service provided or to
be provided to a business entity, by any other business entity, in relation to advice,
consultancy or assistance in any branch of law, in any manner. However, any service
provided by way of appearance before any court, tribunal or authority shall not amount
to taxable service.
Thus, the legal consultancy services shall not be liable to service tax in the following
cases,:
(a) where such service is provided by way of appearance before any court, tribunal or
authority;
(b) where the service provider and/or service recipient is an individual.)(ii) The statement is correct. The Finance Act, 1994 came into force from 1.7.1994. By
section 64(1), the Act extends to the whole of India except the state of Jammu and
Kashmir, and by section 64(3), the levy applies to "taxable services provided". Thus,
services provided in the State of Jammu and Kashmir are not liable to service tax.
As per Article 370 of the Constitution, any Act of Parliament applies to Jammu &
Kashmir only with concurrence of State Government. Since, no such concurrence has
been obtained in respect of Finance Act, 1994, service tax provisions are not applicable
in Jammu and Kashmir.

2. Music competition is a social function and allowing temporary occupation of a hall for a
consideration for organizing such function is liable to service tax under mandap keeper
service.
3. (i) Halls, rooms etc. let out by a hotel for a consideration for organizing social function
like marriage is liable to service tax under mandap keeper service.

mandap keeper service [Secretary, Town Hall Committee, Mysore City Corporation v. CCE
(2007).
Otherwise it is possible to take a view that the meeting of a political party is an official
function and thus allowing temporary occupation of the hotel garden for a consideration for organizing such meeting would be liable to service tax under mandap keeper services.
5. (i) It has been assumed that the conference hall let out to MNO Ltd. is for the purpose
of organizing a seminar/conference and thus, the said activity falls under convention
services.
(ii) Because snacks and cold drinks cannot be termed as “satisfying meal”, benefit of
abatement of 40% of the gross amount charged available under Notification No.
1/2006 ST dated 01.03.2006 cannot be taken.
Whereas charges for snacks and cold drinks can be excluded by virtue of Notification No.
